Nomura Asset Management
Best Fund Provider – Japan Equity


Yoshihiro Miyazaki
Lead Portfolio Manager and Head of Japan Strategic Value
“We are delighted to be recognised as the Best Fund Provider – Japan Equity by Asian Private Banker. This award is a reflection of both Nomura’s dedication to our home market, where we have over 30 research professionals, and the investment team’s expertise and process.
“Our strategy aims to identify strong, competitive companies that have been neglected, and therefore discounted by the market in the shorter term. Our portfolio is comprised of companies that are undervalued relative to their potential to increase their corporate value, offering a differentiated approach to value investment in Japan that has provided positive results for over 20 years. As we approach our 25th birthday, we remain committed to enhancing returns for our invested clients.”

“Interest in Japan as an asset class has risen markedly among U/HNW clientele over the last year, and the Nomura Funds Ireland Plc – Japan Strategic Value Fund again proved to be one of the most appropriate vehicles for generating outperformance and managing volatility in this booming market,” said Daniel Shane, editor of Asian Private Banker and head of the Judging Panel at the Asset Management Awards for Excellence 2025.
“Over its close to 25-year track record, the Nomura Funds Ireland Plc – Japan Strategic Value Fund has recorded on average an excess return of over 4% annualised over the TOPIX benchmark thanks to its bottom-up process of targeting companies with attractive fundamentals that are being neglected by the market in the short term.
“Once again, it is with the utmost honour that Asian Private Banker presents to Nomura Asset Management the highly sought-after accolade of Best Fund Provider – Japan Equity at the Asset Management Awards for Excellence 2025. We would like to congratulate everyone at Nomura Asset Management on their ongoing success.”
