Investment objective

To achieve long-term capital growth principally through investment in small Japanese companies which are believed to have above average prospects for growth.The portfolio is constructed through the identification of individual companies which offer long term growth potential, typically over a three to five year horizon. The portfolio is actively managed and does not seek to track the comparative index, hence a degree of volatility against the index is inevitable
