Our perspective

Why we think this fund is best-in-class

Product

A value-oriented strategy combining value and quality characteristics, investing across a broad universe of undervalued Japanese companies with sustainable competitive advantages. No market cap constraints, with a bias toward large-cap but retains flexibility. Also unconstrained by sector or country, enabling conviction-driven capital allocation across Japan.

People

With over 60 years of experience since its founding in Tokyo in 1959, Nomura Asset Management is a global asset manager renowned for its deep knowledge of the Japanese market, overseeing more than USD 300 billion in Japanese equities. Led by Yoshihiro Miyazaki, Head of Japan Strategic Value strategy, who brings over 22 years of investment experience. He is supported by a team of three additional local investment professionals. Reflecting the team’s collaborative, hands-on approach, all four research-focused portfolio managers are actively involved in research, with Miyazaki himself also serving as a research analyst covering Machinery and Healthcare sectors. Strong alignment of interests with clients through Nomura's employee bonus tied to Fund's performance.

Performance

Aims to outperform the TOPIX Index by +3% p.a., with a comparable level of volatility to the benchmark. The Fund has consistently outperformed its benchmark on a net of fees, annualised basis across all timeframes, from 1 year to since inception, with especially strong performance when value outperformed growth, including every year from 2021 except 2024.

Process

Constructs a concentrated portfolio of typically 70-150 holdings using a pure bottom-up approach focused on company fundamentals, selecting stocks trading below their intrinsic value with strong potential and fundamental strength. Employs multiple proprietary risk systems to manage tracking error and limit single-stock exposure.

Cost

Endowus offers retail share class with 100% trailer fee rebated back to Endowus investors to achieve lower cost of access.

How it fits in a portfolio

The Fund offers a satellite exposure to Japan equities through a value-focused strategy, targeting undervalued stocks with strong potential and fundamental strength. Investors should remain mindful that the Fund is an equity strategy and will likely experience periods of heightened volatility and drawdowns. Additionally, the Fund is concentrated in its geography and quantity of holdings rather than in a broader diversified basket which may involve country-specific and stock-specific risks.
