Nikko Asset Management Americas, Inc. scours the globe in search of prospective fund managers
Nikko Asset Management is a Japanese asset manager with significant alternative operations in New York -- where two-thirds of US hedge fund companies are located. This serves as a window of access to North America and Europe.
Our proprietary database of hedge funds with global scope enables us to efficiently identify companies and products conforming to to individual investor needs. This flexibility allows us to spend more time meeting with and performing in-depth analysis on those managers we choose to represent.
Nikko AM's alternative services include the following:
- Facilitating the selection of quality managers -- most of the managers are in our "backyard," facilitating the flow of information.
- Creating a comprehensive database of some 300 fund managers, from which the services of the top 100 are selected.
- Leveraging Nikko AM's network and knowledge of investors' appetite (strategy, liquidity, etc.) to select, design and deliver the "right" products.
- Offering high quality hedge funds which otherwise may not be marketed in Japan.
- Ongoing monitoring and risk management, helping to minimize downside risk such as fat-tail risk and fraud.
