Japan's Best Analyst Days

Overview

Japan’s Best Analyst Days Feature 74 Companies

A spirited discussion of a company’s financial performance and management’s expectations for its future, an overview of its strategy and a tour of its facilities, opportunities to ask questions and possibly arrange meetings with top executives — successful analyst days often incorporate all of these attributes and more. To find out which Japanese companies host the type of event that financial professionals find most beneficial, Institutional Investor asked buy- and sell-side participants in the 2015 All-Japan Executive Team survey — our exclusive annual ranking of the nation’s best corporate leaders and investor outreach programs — to tell us which of the entities they cover host the most constructive analyst days. We received responses from nearly 460 investment professionals at close to 190 financial services firms. Respondents from the buy-side work at firms that collectively manage $568 billion in Japanese equities.
