For over a decade, investors shunned Japan, which had been stuck in an economic quagmire. But reforms have unleashed the world’s second largest economy. Andrew H. Shipley’s The Japanese Money Tree challenges the stale conventional wisdom regarding Japan’s grim prospects, and highlights how foreign investors are making the most of exciting opportunities in Tokyo. He also reveals how readers themselves, whether institutional money managers or individual investors, can profit from Japan’s economic rebirth.

The Japanese Money Tree reflects Shipley’s 15 years “on the ground” in Japan, sharing actual experiences of foreign investors operating there. Shipley uncovers immense intellectual property value hidden “off the books” in Japanese firms, and explores enormous private equity and hedge fund opportunities emerging in Japan. You’ll find new insights into Japan’s trading relationships with China, its demographic realities, its new real estate boom, and much more.

Throughout, Shipley offers fresh research and innovative strategies—all brought together in today’s most insightful and compellingly readable guide to investing in Japan.
