FULL OF WESTERN PROMISE

What will amount to a minor piece of history will be acted out early this month in a Tokyo conference room when 60 Japanese industrial executives sit down for an investment seminar. Top of the agenda: investment performance measurement.

Nothing unusual about that–until you look at the dichotomy between the agenda and the executives’ credentials. The course will concentrate on the basics of standard investment performance measurement techniques: those who come to learn include top pension executives from the cream of Japanese industry.
