Activist investing in Japan is flourishing, led by successes of firms like Elliott Management Corp. and Strategic Capital Inc. The government and Tokyo Stock Exchange's focus on shareholder returns has made the country the world's second-largest market for activists. Shareholder proposals are rising, and this year alone, activists have invested in 100 Japanese companies worth approximately $318 billion, with strong returns outperforming the market. The shift in corporate governance has attracted both foreign and Japanese investors, reshaping the traditionally debt-focused economy into one where shareholders wield significant power.
