The Alternative Investment Management Association (Japan) and Eurekahedge recently completed their third annual survey of regulatory and market factors that affect investing in Japan. Respondents’ alternative investments and overall allocation preferences were measured as well as their outlook on the Japanese economy. The survey detected growing concern with U.S. registration requirements for private fund managers, the so-called Volcker rule and other Dodd-Frank regulations. Investors also appear particularly pessimistic about the Japanese economic policies known as “Abenomics.” This article examines these and other key takeaways from the survey report.
