The Japanese stock market tends to be neglected, yet it offers a rich pool of investment opportunities. Among the listed companies are numerous high-quality enterprises that are leaders in their respective sectors. Investing in Japanese companies is not simply a matter of focusing on the evolution of the nation’s domestic economy; but also on the growth of the emerging countries to which Japan is increasingly connected. Mansartis manages a portfolio based on strong convictions, built independently of the reference index, and composed of some 50 companies in which we have invested for the long term. We seek out growth companies in sectors with high barriers to entry, leaders in their respective industries, with durable competitive advantage. Many of the companies in our portfolio possess huge global or domestic market share, often in growth categories such as those related to aging populations, digital transformation or industrial automation.

Liquidity risk: in the event that trading volumes on the financial markets are low, the manager may not be able to sell the securities quickly under satisfactory conditions, which has a more or less significant impact on the purchase and sale price and in certain circumstances the overall liquidity of the fund.

Counterparty risk: there is a risk that the counterparty may default on forward exchange contracts.

Guarantee: the investment funds carry no capital guarantee.
