Private equity is gearing up for “the siege of Japan Inc.” By last fall, Japan-focused private equity had more than doubled since 2015 and is “now sitting on $14.9 billion of cash. Moreover, a record 80 private-equity and venture-capital funds focused on Japan closed last year, raising $10 billion.” Though large numbers of “barbarians are arriving at the gates in Japan,” nobody seems in a “hurry for a brutal, bloody siege—perhaps because they are hoping the doors will finally be opened politely from the inside.”
