Asset owners, the first ring in the investment chain, need new asset management approaches when investing in assets offered in Japan, an ultra-aging society under ultra-low interest rates.

The conference will be titled Asset Owners 2.0 in the Investment Chain and shed light on new approaches to asset selection, portfolio management, risk management in a low interest rate environment.
