In Pursuit of Good Governance

Murakami is currently pursuing a similar agenda through C&I Holdings. This family-owned investment company is giving top billing to corporate governance and strongly demanding that its investment targets increase their corporate value. C&I is currently in the limelight as an activist investor pushing Kuroda Electric (Japan’s top electronic parts trading company, listed on the First Section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange) to improve its governance. It is demanding that Kuroda increase returns to shareholders, put its cash to work, and give Murakami and three other outsiders seats on its board of directors.
