"The 3rd Annual Mutual Fund Conference"
 Date:  November 21, 2000
 Location:  Nippon Kaiun Club (Nagatacho)

"

Has the Japanese mutual fund market stalled? There has been a lot of discussion in the past about why Japanese favor bank deposit and postal savings. How can we increase the holding ratio of mutual funds by Japanese investor's from 10% to 50%? Is there a vehicle to boost Japanese investor's appetite?

The difficulty of managing the pension system has become a serious problem as Japanese society continues to age. The huge debt continues to be a major burden and there has been a lot of discussion on this matter by corporations, government, labour parties, and scholars. The introduction of the DC Plan has been as hotly debated as the solution. However is this the sole goal?

The conference aims to address these two major issues by gathering representatives from the House of Representatives, pension funds, plan sponsors, relevant associations, and the most forward thinking asset managers to frankly present their views and opinions.
