Strategies

Investment Approach:: By investing in listed Japanese firms and engaging with their top management, we catalyze pivotal changes in corporate governance and strategy, ultimately unlocking shareholder value.; Our focus is on undervalued companies with the potential for significant value creation through our dedicated and active engagement.; We target companies that have a solid and competitive core business but are undervalued by the market for reasons such as weak corporate governance, poor management quality, inefficient capital structure, and sub-optimal business portfolio.; We conduct thorough fundamental bottom-up research, combining insights from public disclosures and direct interaction with top management, including CEOs and Boards.; By engaging directly with key decision-makers, we aim to improve corporate governance and enhance both corporate and shareholder value over the medium to long term.
