Elliott stated that, based on Mitsui’s strength in the shipping industry, it has made a “significant investment,” but noted that the market “seriously undervalues this business.”

Elliott also said it plans to work “constructively” with Mitsui on its upcoming mid-term management plan and to ensure that the plan is “ambitious enough.”

Reuters reported that Elliott believes Mitsui should review its real estate portfolio and reconsider the relisting of its Dibiru division.

This investment comes as hedge funds’ interest in Japanese companies continues to grow, with markets and regulators pushing the country’s largest corporations to implement more governance reforms.
