Dear Global Investor,

Japan’s increasingly international private equity space has seen some major buyout deals this year and the number of investments in growth capital deals is also on the rise. Simultaneously, cooperative deals have become a feature of the landscape – between foreign and domestic firms, as well as trade and financial backers – not just, Mount Fuji-like, an occasional though auspicious anomaly.

Don’t miss this opportunity to discover the latest developments in this increasingly dynamic – and once more expanding – market at the 2007 Asian Private Equity & Venture Forum - JAPAN is scheduled for April 2-4 at the ANA Hotel in Tokyo.

Featuring an outstanding roster of speakers representing the most active funds in the market, the conference is an annual opportunity to meet and network with the best private equity fund managers, institutional investors and professionals.
