Reports of the death of Abenomics have been greatly exaggerated.

That’s according to top Japan managers including a former stock-picker for George Soros and a T. Rowe Price Group Inc. executive, who predict that investors who fled the market this year before the world’s steepest rebound are going to miss out on even more gains.
