Japan's misguided Matryoshka M&A

​In the last 25 years, Intel Corp on its own has managed to make 31% more net income than all 20 of Japan’s largest tech companies combined on a currency adjusted basis. That is right. Intel on its own has thumped the likes of Sony, Panasonic, Toshiba, Sharp, Mitsubishi Electric, NEC, Hitachi, Fujitsu, Fuji Film, Konica Minolta, Brother, Nidec, Kyocera, Canon, Olympus, TDK, TEL, Ricoh, Advantest and Nikon combined. Intel does one thing very well, commands huge market shares and ensures its p...

Elections, Polls, Terrorism and Financial Market Behaviour

​MIT economist Jonathan Gruber’s candour shocked many when he said that Obamacare could only be passed into legislation if it was “written in a tortured way” so it could play to the “stupidity of the American voter.” While politicians on both sides of the political divide were quick to support the ‘intelligence’ of their constituents the reality today is that ‘actual’ voter turnout across the globe, including America has been steadily falling over the last six decades and the...

The problem with all-you-can-eat ETFs in Japan

​ETFs are hitting the market faster than the dim-sum trolley can circle the banquet hall.

However ETFs, despite increasing levels of sophistication, have brought about higher levels of...

Corporate Governance Guidebook for Japanese Companies

Analogica KK conducts an in-depth approach to how Japanese companies are taking on the new Corporate Governance Code introduced recently by the Abe government. We believe that no corporate governance code is perfect given many corporate failures that have occurred since SOX's introduction) but Japanese companies must move away from making 'safe' choices and pursue independent directors that will add real value to the boardroom. We also compare global regulators and assess how budgets, techno...

Corporate Governance in Japan (日本語版)

​安倍首相はアベノミクスの一環として、日本の企業に対し海外のコーポレート・ガバナンスを手本とした日本独自のコーポレートガバナンスコード(以下コード)の導入を推進している。時期としては遅い感は否めないし、不十分ではあるが、投資家はとりあえずその導入を歓迎した。日本は自国に必要なコードに注力するのは正しいということは認めざるを得ない。å…...
