DC FEST New York 2026 once again brought together leading dealmakers, clients, and industry participants for an afternoon of discussion.

Ahead of the main event, our Asia Access team - Tosh Kojima, UK Managing Director, Kenta Nakagawa, US Director, and  Takafumi Shimazaki, US Director - collaborated with Daiwa Securities Inc. to host a dedicated pre-session for Japanese corporates, reflecting our long-standing relationships in Japan and our role in supporting cross-border investment into the US and beyond.

The session,* held in collaboration with Daiwa Securities Inc., featured perspectives from JETRO, Marsh, and the Japan Stock Exchange, offering a practical, on-the-ground view of the current environment for Japanese investors operating internationally, including: 

  • The evolving US economic and policy landscape, and what recent developments in trade policy mean for Japanese corporates navigating supply chains, investment decisions, and global positioning
  • Converging expectations around governance, capital efficiency, and shareholder value creation, helping to drive a more active M&A environment 
  • Practical considerations for Japanese companies expanding into the US, including cost-of-living pressures, expatriate support structures, and rising healthcare and insurance costs
  • Increasing momentum behind corporate value enhancement initiatives in Japan, and how this is translation
  • The role of trusted advisory relationships in bridging cultural, regulatory, and execution differences between Japan, the US, and Europe
