TOKYO -- Japan intends to scrap a key restriction on overseas investments by domestic venture funds dedicated to backing startups, a move intended to attract more foreign investors into the sector.
Domestic startup funds currently must limit investment in foreign companies to less than 50% of their portfolio holdings. Ending this restriction would allow more flexibility in choosing investment targets, encouraging overseas money to flow into such Japanese funds.
