The Nikko AM Edge

China is colossal - a market which in many ways today presents an unprecedented opportunity for investors and investment managers alike. To address this vast market, access and connectivity to information are key to unlocking investment insights.

Designed for Insights Intensity

The intensity of information, both volume and speed, demands a whole new level of research and connectivity that the Nikko AM team is purposefully wired for.

Reflecting the bespoke nature of investing in an evolving China, we have built a collaborative team of analysts with diverse and complementary backgrounds. Adding to the advantage of being on the ground, Nikko AM taps into the expertise and market intelligence of its domestic partner, Rongtong Fund Management Co., Ltd., which has a large team plugged into the uniquely local information network.

Institutional DNA

This research advantage complements the institutional DNA of Nikko AM’s portfolio construction process - an investment process that is aligned with client interests and time tested. With institutional discipline and high conviction, the team looks beyond crowded trades for growth stocks with the potential for sustainable returns.

In a world like China where one size clearly does not fit all, our ability to turn insights into sustainable opportunities sets us apart.

Early Proponent of China

Nikko AM in Japan launched one of the world’s first funds investing in the A shares of a burgeoning China in February 2005. This followed hot on the heels of becoming the first asset management company to be certified by the Chinese authorities as a qualified foreign institutional investor (QFII) in December 2003, and launching the world's first RMB-denominated Government Bond Fund in Japan in 2004.

In April 2007, Nikko AM made a strategic investment in a leading Chinese asset manager, Rongtong Fund Management Co. Ltd. Established in 2001, Rongtong is today one of the largest Sino-Foreign joint venture fund management companies in China. Representing new China, its headquarters are Shenzhen, with branch offices in Beijing, Shanghai and Chengdu.

Bespoke to Tomorrow's China

Working very closely with Rongtong in information mining and idea generation, Nikko AM's China team is able to augment and refine this intuitive understanding of the China market and its nuances in order to stay ahead amidst this fast changing backdrop.

Based in Shenzhen, Hong Kong and Singapore, this All-China team comprises native Chinese analysts, seasoned China specialists and analysts who have invested more broadly across emerging as well as developed Asia. The team is a natural extension and can tap into the domain knowledge of one of the largest Asian equity teams housed in Singapore. With proven track record and experience that is bespoke to the great growth opportunity that China presents, Nikko AM is poised to help global investors gain exposure to the world's growth engine.
