Focusing On Our Strengths

We have been managing Japanese equity portfolios for over 45 years and Asian equities since 1990, giving us a deep understanding of the dynamics of these economies and stock markets.

Commitment to Research

One of the keys to our success has been ability to identify good companies at an early stage. In this respect it is essential to analyse and evaluate companies using criteria such as managerial execution, product development and cost competitiveness. We believe that the depth and quality of our coverage and internally generated research is major competitive advantage.

Leveraging Quantitative Techniques

Nikko AM has one of the most experienced quantitative teams in Japan, the result of Nikko's long-standing effort to develop world-class quantitative techniques and its past partnerships with Nikko-Barra and Wells Fargo Nikko Investment Advisors, a pioneer in the index investing field. More recently, Nikko launched Japan's first Exchange Traded Fund, the Nikko TOPIX ETF, followed by the Nikko 225 ETF.

Decision Making Structures That Fit

Our investment professionals are organized into teams that each focus on specific investment or regional strategies. Portfolio managers do company research and some may direct small teams of analysts to extend their research abilities. In this way, decision-making remains closest to those with the information advantage. Investment decisions are made by the portfolio management team alone.
