A professional-investor board publishing why its listed companies chose to list there is a small but genuine transparency upgrade — it gives investors evaluating pre-listing or newly listed Japanese growth companies a documented rationale to underwrite against, rather than guesswork.

For a market where startup-share secondary trading still lags Japan's large private-equity secondaries scene, disclosures like this are part of the slow institutional groundwork that eventually makes broader secondary activity easier to price.
