Asia Pacific and Japan All Cap

Asia Pacific and Japan All Cap

The strategy was launched in June 1988, and since September 2019 has been a dedicated sustainability strategy. This equity-only strategy aims to achieve long-term capital growth by investing in a portfolio of between 30-60 companies in the Asia Pacific region, including Japan, that are helping to bring about a more sustainable future.

The ability to invest directly in Japan allows clients to own high-quality Japanese companies far earlier in their Asian growth journeys, as well as accessing a greater pool of domestic companies with attractive growth opportunities that are positioned to contribute to, and benefit from, sustainable development.
