Japan as No.1
Fund.
Intrinsic value,
bringing Japan back to the world's center.
Japan as No.1 Fund is a Japanese-equity value-investing fund that unlocks the intrinsic value of Japanese companies and presents it to the world. Through disciplined value investing combined with constructive engagement, we strengthen Japan from its core — toward a Japan the world admires once again.
Japan as No.1, Once Again.
Japan's manufacturing, entertainment, and food culture are world-class — yet capital markets continue to discount them heavily. This fund exists to unlock that intrinsic value and reclaim a prosperous Japan that draws capital from the world.
Selective investment in companies with sustainable competitive advantage
We invest in companies that can deliver long-term capital efficiency and growth regardless of market cycles, with strong economic moats. Our value analysis surfaces overlooked companies and we capture alpha through future earnings growth.
Maximizing enterprise value through constructive engagement
After investing, we engage with management through honest, constructive dialogue — supporting improvements in operations, IR, and capital policy. We aim to maximize enterprise and shareholder value with a long-term view.
Disciplined operations and conservative risk management
As "same boat" co-partners with our investors, we invest our own capital on identical terms. We avoid excessive leverage and speculation, operating with transparent and disciplined practices for steady long-term wealth.
