Non-Japanese funds start to surface again… Kenzo Capital becomes active…

The opportunistic non-Japanese funds have contributed to the speedy development of the Japanese real estate market from 1999 to 2007. However, since the “sub-prime” issue has triggered various troubles in the financial market, the real estate sector also got largely affected and most of the non-Japanese investors have once exited from the Japanese real estate market. While the cross-border investment volume into Japan is still moderate, there are a number of non-Japanese investors who are considering this as an opportunity for them to enter this market. Kenzo Capital Corporation (head quartered in Minato-ku Tokyo) established in August 2008, will focus on the business related to such non-Japanese investors. We had an interviewed with Dr. Leonard Meyer zu Brickwedde, President & CEO concerning his business strategies and his views on the non-Japanese investors` appetites for investment into Japan.
