Lessons from the murder of an honest manager

Corporate transparency need not be a matter of life or death. What it requires is vigilance by investors

On February 28, 1994, Juntaro Suzuki , the 61-year-old director of Fuji Photo Film Corporation, was stabbed to death in the doorway of his house in Tokyo. It was not an accident or a case of mistaken identity, but a murder. So why was he killed?

The answer leads to a valuable lesson that many investors have missed: watch where the companies in which you have a stake hold their shareholder meetings. Neglecting this important signal probably will not cost your life, but it could cost you money.
