AIMA APAC Webinar: Japan Large Shareholding Reporting - The AIMA Guide and First Month of the New Regime
Registration will be opened shortly.
******************************
AIMA invites you to a webinar on Wednesday 3 June 2026 to discuss the AIMA Japan Large Shareholding Reporting Guide, published ahead of the 1 May 2026 compliance date, and to take stock of the first month of operating under the amended regime.
The amendments to Japan's Large Shareholding Reporting framework under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act recalibrate the scope of acts triggering disclosure and reporting mechanics. With the 1 May compliance date now behind the industry, the session offers an opportunity to move from theory to practice, surfacing early experience, interpretive questions that have emerged in live filings, and the issues most likely to shape ongoing compliance for managers active in Japan.
The session will cover:
- Reflections on the first month under the amended LSR regime: what has worked, what remains unclear, and where industry practice is converging
- Practical compliance pathways: filing mechanics and outstanding interpretive questions
- The AIMA Japan LSR Guide as a reference tool for member firms
Speakers:
- Masaki Taniguchi, Chief Operating Officer, Pleiad Investment Advisors
- Michael Unglesbee, Department Chair United Managers Japan & Director Susanoh Ltd. and UMJ International Singapore
