Privee investment and the Hankyu-Hanshin takeover controversy
Privee Zurich Turnaround Group acquired a major position in Hankyu Holdings while seeking to improve efficiency across its diversified businesses. The investment unfolded alongside the controversy surrounding fund manager Yoshiaki Murakami, Hankyu management’s anti-takeover measures and the acquisition of Hanshin Electric Railway. Privee later reduced its holding during the 2008 financial crisis.
