Bain Capital aims to double its investment in Japan

TOKYO — Bain Capital is looking to double its investment in Japan in the next five years with the country emerging from decades of stagnation as one of the hottest destinations for global investors.

“In the last five to 10 years, we’ve invested in excess of $5 billion” in Japan, David Gross, co-managing partner of the U.S. private equity company, told Nikkei Asia in an interview. “We certainly think that could double over the next five years.”
