Event Overview:
Japan has got what it takes to help shape a more prosperous America. On top of unrivalled excellence in public infrastructure, Japan’s economy has re-invented itself to an extent much greater than generally appreciated—corporate Japan is innovative, competitive, and a better steward of capital; consumer Japan is asset rich, debt-free, and enjoying rising purchasing power; and political Japan is now focused on leveraging domestic strength for greater global leadership, starting with America. What exactly can Abe offer for Trump’s “America First” policy? How real is Japan’s domestic revival? Could U.S.-Japan economic integration become the new "gold standard" in a post-TPP world? In the age of Trump and Abe, which Japanese industries offer the best investment and growth opportunities? About the Speaker: Jesper Koll has been investing in Japan since becoming a resident in 1986. In July 2015, he was appointed Chief Executive Officer of WisdomTree Japan. Over the past two decades, Jesper has been consistently ranked as one of the top Japan strategists/economists, having worked as Chief Strategist and Head of Research for major U.S. investment banks J.P. Morgan and Merrill Lynch. His analysis and insights have earned him a position on several Japanese government and corporate advisory committees. In late-2016, Governor Koike appointed Jesper to her Tokyo Financial Center Advisory Board. He is also one of the few non-Japanese members of the Keizai Doyukai, the Japan Association of Corporate Executives. He has written three books in Japanese, Towards a New Japanese Golden Age, The End of Heisei Deflation, and the recently published Japan's Economy - The Envy of the World.
