India 8-12 September

Why India? Why Now?

India is rising. Now the world’s fastest-growing major economy, India is forecast to surpass US$5 trillion GDP by 2027, outpacing peers in both scale and momentum.

Demographics = demand. With a median age under 30 and a digital-first population, India offers unrivaled scale for long-term private capital deployment.

Policy tailwinds. Pro-business reforms, infrastructure investments, and pension liberalization are drawing institutional capital into India’s private markets.

LPs are watching. Global allocators are revisiting India—seeking direct access, trusted GPs, and local insights in a crowded, opaque market.

Japan 10-14 November

Why Japan? Why Now?

Japan is opening its doors—on its own terms. After decades of cautious capital inflow, the country is actively courting foreign investment in its private markets.

Reform-minded leadership is unlocking opportunity:

Prime Minister Kishida’s “New Capitalism” aims to shift corporate governance, stimulate innovation, and draw more global capital.

Pension funds are diversifying:

GPIF and other institutional anchors are allocating more to alternatives, creating downstream momentum across Japan’s LP ecosystem.

Private markets are evolving fast:

Japanese corporates are spinning off non-core assets, creating demand for private equity. Venture is gaining new energy from university tech and regional innovation.

It’s an Asia anchor with global reach:

Japan offers political stability, rule of law, and strong U.S. alignment—a compelling base for investors navigating China decoupling and emerging Asia shifts.

Bottom line:

Access is expanding—but relationships and credibility still matter most. There’s real openness, but only for those who show up with long-term intent.
