A Record of Innovation

Nikko AM’s ¥617 billion Nikko GW7 Eggs fund, launched in 2003, offers seven different global asset funds in one product, providing a much better information ratio than the conventional four asset classes of similar products. Our Nikko Triple Fund (Property Bond Equity), Monthly Dividend Payment Type, was the first balanced product in Japan to include J-REITs. Launched in 2003, the fund has attracted ¥1,007 billion in assets.¹

Expanding and marketing our global outsourced product families

We also pride ourselves on our ability to supplement our in-house Japanese and Asian products with the best third-party products from around the world. We team up with top international asset managers to design and deliver products that meet our highest standards of quality and performance. In 2004, we became the first fund manager in Japan to aggressively promote its foreign third-party products; the "World Series" program now accounts for about 33% of our net asset inflows. This customer-oriented system has enabled us to not only further diversify our product line, but also stabilize our business regardless of regional market conditions or style of investments.
