In addition, Japanese asset management firms are often subsidiaries of banks and brokerages, which raises questions over management independence.

Yes, indeed!

Well, well, well... one for the plus/pro column: I think asset managers like banner/argentum are separate from banks & brokerages. Maybe they should update their web pages with that factoid.
