Our view

Why we like the fund: This fund management team has good levels of experience of investing in Japan. Most of the team is based in Japan, which we believe is important for understanding the local market. They carry out extensive research to identify the highest conviction Japanese companies to invest in (typically investing in around 30 companies). The investment approach is pragmatic, with a moderate bias towards cheaper areas of the Japanese market over time. How to use the fund: This fund focuses primarily on larger sized Japanese companies. It offers an alternative option to the Schroder Japan Trust, which is an investment trust and holds a wider range of companies (including more medium and smaller companies) in its portfolio. Lazard Japanese Strategic Equity should be seen as one of the riskier allocations within a diversified portfolio.
