- 【Message】
- Effective utilization of financial assets, the second largest in the world, is one of the most important issues in Japan. The Japanese government has identified asset management as one of its priority policies for 2024, and advocates doubling personal asset income and advancement of institutional investors' asset management capabilities. In this endowed chair, I would like to contribute toward an “asset management nation” through theoretical and technical research on asset management.
