Global investors increasingly view Japan as a frontier for value, yet they often lack real-time insight into local shifts such as corporate governance reforms and supply-chain realignments. 

In response to this need, global expert network Arches now provides its Japan-market insights through the Expert Transcript Library (ETL), now delivered within the Bloomberg Terminal’s comprehensive and high-quality research library which includes more than 400 million documents such as company transcripts, fast-breaking media coverage, and sell-side and other independent reports covering thousands of public and private companies, industry trends and economic forecasts.

What This Provides to Investors

Arches connects former executives, regulators, and industry insiders for in-depth expert calls. These conversations are then transformed into structured, searchable transcripts. Turning raw dialogue into actionable insight on strategy, risk, and opportunity in the Japan market, now delivered within the Bloomberg Terminal via Document Search {DS <GO>} and the AI-enhanced Document Search & Analysis solution.

Select ETL content from Arches is already featured within the Bloomberg Terminal and is accessed by up to 200+ companies per month (recorded from January to October 2025), with rising trial requests, underscoring strong market demand for verified, human-sourced insights.

“Japan’s equity markets hold immense potential, but success requires more than numbers,” says Arches CEO Hiroki Kato. “Through our collaboration with Bloomberg, we’re helping investors see beyond data points, turning first-hand insights into clear, actionable perspectives.”

From Expert Calls to Investment Advantage

Arches’ expert pool spans Semiconductors, Technology Hardware, Industrials, Consumer, Healthcare, and Renewables, offering ongoing coverage of Japan’s most dynamic sectors.

For example, when Taiwan-based Yageo acquired Japan’s Shibaura Electronics in September 2025, ETL transcripts enabled investors to act before the broader market adjusted by providing subscribers with inside perspectives on deal drivers and sector implications.

With offices in Tokyo, Seoul, Hong Kong, and Bogotá, Arches supports investors globally, integrating live calls and transcripts into the research workflow across time zones.

Unlike traditional reports, Arches’ ETL offers human-verified insights directly sourced from operators and decision-makers. Each transcript is reviewed for accuracy and relevance, giving investors access to current, sector-specific intelligence.

A New Era for Market Insights

The expert network industry is valued at approximately USD $3.77 billion in 2025, and Arches’ 160,000+ expert network and 600+ client base reflect how real-world specialists are becoming essential infrastructure for both institutional investors and corporates.

By delivering its expertise within the Bloomberg Terminal’s comprehensive research library, Arches is helping translate localised expertise into globally accessible investment insight, enabling earlier, deeper understanding of Japan’s evolving equity markets.
