TSE’s Request for Disclosure About Parent-Subsidiary Listings Is an Improvement, Not a Solution
- Parent-Subsidiary listings present several problems: the disadvantages to parent company’s shareholders that drain subsidiary’s profits, the distortion of market capitalization between subsidiary and parent company, and independence of subsidiary’s management.
- While it’s an improvement for TSE to ask companies to disclose their purpose and policy of listing subsidiaries and affiliates, it doesn’t ensure the complete independence of subsidiaries and affiliates.
- More than 30% of listed companies are listed subsidiaries or affiliates. Investors are forced to look for investment targets while worrying about management independence in 70% of the companies.
