KOKUSAI Asset Management Co.,Ltd.

Since being founded in 1983, Kokusai Asset Management Co., Ltd. has been an industry pioneer, delivering strong performance to its clients through high value-added investment trusts.

For more than a quarter of a century, we have built a reputation for fairness, sincerity and openness, whilst being progressive and innovative.

With substantial performance and client oriented services, our investment trusts, including Global Sovereign Open, Japan's largest, give us significant competitive advantage. This strength and depth of our service leads us to be recognized as a leader in our industry.

Over 600 Japanese financial organizations, including mega-banks, regional banks and securities companies are now our distributors.

In our global business, we are conscious of overseas investment opportunities, especially in Asia, where we have launched a series of Asian investment trusts, along with other globally diversified fund portfolios.

With expectations that Japan's interest rates will remain at historic lows, we believe that Japanese investor flows will continue to move into more attractive investment vehicles.

Given this outlook, we are constantly seeking opportunities to develop better products, while maintaining our accountability and high ethical standards.

The long term benefit of our clients is at the heart of what we do. We therefore continue to develop our business in response to the changing market environment and our clients' needs.

Through our business activities, we are keen to contribute to the further development of many aspects of the global economy.
