This article continues the discussion of private equity and hedge fund licensing following from the third article - "What is the Best License for a Private Equity or Hedge Fund Manager in Japan?" - of the series. It examines the evolution and limitations of the "Standard Model" which remains by far the dominant model for establishing an inbound investment fund presence in Japan and efforts by industry groups to make Japan a more attractive base for fund managers given recent renewed interest in the market by offshore investors which has brought to the fore the need for an enhanced model to draw fund managers and their operations back to Japan.
