Strategies

We invest in corporate securities that have an intrinsic value we believe to be significantly underpriced. We are willing to take a long term view and are not frightened of adopting a contrarian stance.

In aggregate, our team has well over a century of experience analysing and investing in Japanese equities. Our strategies cater both to long only and long-short investors.
