What is Astoria Investor Forum?
Since the launch of the Astoria Private Equity Forum in Japan in 2002, Astoria has become the most recognized
name among LPs in Japan as the foremost organizer of investor education seminars. Now renamed as the as
the Astoria Investor Forum (AIF), we have widened the scope of the agenda to include such topics as
Infrastructure and Private Debt in addition to Private Equity in the conference program.
Who will attend?
Astoria has served the educational needs of the LP community in Japan since 2002. We expect to welcome over
150 delegates at our next conference in September 2015, a reflection of the continuing appetite for investment
amongst the Japanese LP community. The AIF continues to be the premier destination for investors and
managers in Japan looking to find out more about the latest trends and issues, and of course, build new,
meaningful networks. Astoria is an investor facing organization and we have an excellent track record of
hosting conferences where over 60% of delegates are LPs and/or their fiduciary firms.

AIF 2015 Speaking Opportunity: access and influence
the future of LP investing in Japan
Dear Sir/Madam,
We are delighted to be developing the agenda for the Astoria Investor Forum 2015, taking place on September 24-25. The
call for Speakers is open until August 14, 2015 and our Early Bird discount on sponsorship fees will be effective until July
16th.
Now in its 14th year, the Astoria Investor Forum is the most well recognized LP conference on private equity by
institutional investors in Japan. The conference was rebranded in 2011 to include such asset classes as infrastructure and
private debt. We fully expect to see over 150 Japanese institutional investors and fiduciary firms, who act on behalf of
Japanese pension investors, to attend the conference in the fall of 2015.
The main body of the conference consists of 2 days from Sept. 25th to 26th. All together we will have 4 workshop sessions,
7 panel sessions, five of which are available for sponsor/speakers. On the night of Sept. 23rd, there will be an exclusive
cocktail/dinner event for sponsors, speakers and VIP guests.
We appreciate your interest and opinions; thank you and we look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Hal Morimoto - Organizer of the Conference, Astoria Consulting Group, LLC

Access. Astoria Investor Forum is a who’s who event of Japanese LPs with special emphasis on
private equity and yield producing alternative assets.
Get Your Message Heard by Key Individuals. Speakers deliver messages to the key individuals,
senior investment directors, CIOs at pension funds and their fiduciary agents, at the conference.
Results That Are Unique and Quantifiable. Sponsors can choose their audience, set the topic,
influence the agendas, choose event format, and get timely, relevant and direct feedback from
attendees.
Unparalleled Reputation. Astoria has built a rock-solid reputation for providing contents and
programs that are highly educational to Japanese LP community since 2002.
Efficient and Cost-Effective. At a fraction of cost for doing things on your own – you can establish
your objectives with your target audience through our conference. An example, for less than the
cost of a single 1-page ad in a trade magazine, you can take the Platinum sponsorship option to own
a workshop session, which is the equivalent of a keynote address in other conferences.
Branding. Build your brand by participating in our educational conference programs, and having
direct conversation with our LP audience.
Involvement. Companies who sponsor Astoria Investor Forum are broadcasting their association and
commitment to the local institutional investor community, and claiming a leadership role in the
ecosystem.
Expect the Unexpected. We're not just an event manager who sometimes do investor conferences,
we are an investment research firm with a strong educational focus at our conferences. Astoria can
assist your business development in Japan.
Connect, Communicate and Engage. Meeting in person as a speaker/sponsor is so much more
effective than being an attending as a delegate.
