We have changed the event date to February 2019!
The next Astoria Investor Forum will take place on February 19
th& 20
th. With it we are more in sync with the
period for budget planning process of many LPs in Japan for investment in FY 2019.
Who will attend?
It will be attended by three types of people:
1) asset managers who are licensed in Japan or local/international gatekeepers;
2) financial institutional investors who are balance sheet investors; and
3) pension investors who hire the asset managers.
These three types of investors will constitute approximately 2/3 of the audience.
More compact and intimate than before to promote more active dialogues among attendants
You will find a combination of roundtable workshops and panel sessions in February. At our roundtable we
will showcase
One Ideas
from speakers/sponsors followed by interactive Q&A and debating between
panelists and the speakers. Panel sessions during the day will be larger in scale than the roundtable
workshops, and will be simultaneously translated for audience with much wider investment experiences on
Day 1.
AIF Japan Seminar, a short seminar with a focus on domestic markets, will be organized in the afternoon of
Day 2. All speeches and discussions are conducted in Japanese (no translation provided)
You will be in the driver’s seat to design the next event with us
As always we will be constructing the event program jointly with our sponsors/speakers and local asset
management experts. I look forward to working with you.
Sincerely,
Hal Morimoto, Organizer & Host

speakers presides in front of medium to large scale audience. Each session will have a sponsor
who will work with Astoria to develop the educational contents and a speaker line-up of each
session for our investor audience. The sponsor company may act as a moderator or as a member
of panelists.
o At the Premium Sessions on Day 1, we expect larger and broader range of investor audience.
The conference venue will be equipped with simultaneous translation (En-Jp) to assist
communications.
o The AIF Japan Seminar on Day 2 will be a slightly casual event than the main event with a
greater focus on domestic assets with a smaller group of investor audience. The entire
program will be conducted in Japanese. The conference venue will NOT be equipped with

How Roundtable Works
What do we mean by
One Idea
at the roundtable workshop?
For as long as we can remember limited partners of the world have held the views that there is
“too much money chasing too few deals” in private capital markets. Yet, history tells us that
market will continue to evolve and new opportunities will be created by innovative fund
managers to put more money to work.
Astoria Investor Forum (AIF2019) invites thought leaders in the industry to discuss this evolving
nature of the private capital markets. LPs and asset managers who come to the AIF2019 are here
to learn about
finding solutions on “Too Much Money Chasing Too Few Deals”
this year.
•
Each roundtable is attended by a moderator and 8 (to 10) panelists
•
Astoria will invite a moderator (most likely be a Japanese asset manager) and panelists
•
Each roundtable is subdivided to 3 of 30' sessions where a
One Idea
presentation is given by a
presenter/panelist in each segment
•
Each
One Idea
presentation will be followed by comments and Q&A from the members of the panel
•
The recommended length of the
One Idea
presentation is for 7 minutes
•
Presenters may wish to supplement additional slides to be used during the segment
•
Each presenter shall prepare a draft structure and discussion scenario for the moderator prior to the
event
•
All discussions will be conducted in English
•
Astoria expects up to 80 people to participate in the roundtable - the mix of audience are likely be
more professional investors than regular panel sessions
