TOKYO -- Some 800 overseas investors are set to descend on Japan starting next week, attending seminars and meetings in an effort to identify companies with strong growth prospects.
A portfolio manager at a Hong Kong-based hedge fund is busy preparing for a trip to Japan, where meetings will be held executives from more than 10 companies. The manager is among those enthusiastic about Japanese listed corporations, which are expected to earn a record aggregate profit in the year ending March 31.
