Trammell first moved to Japan in the late 1970s. “I haven’t invested in Japan for 20 years - so tell me, why now?”. Current developments in Japan allow for full realisation of value that investors may have missed the last 20 years. New policies in Japan aim to release & re-invest corporate cash of $4.5 trillion (retail is believed to own another $15-20 trillion). Over 400 firms have negative net enterprise value (cash > stock market valuation).

Changing the listing requirements and “the way the stock markets operate in Japan”. 90% of listed Japan equities have a market cap of less than $2bn: “This small and mid cap universe is not the Japan most people pay attention to”.

Symphony Financial Partners “engaged” deep value Japanese equity strategy has delivered over 24% annualized returns for the past 8 years and in the high teens for over 16 years. And the story goes that they are just getting started.

John Trammell first moved to Japan in the late 1970s. In this Opalesque.TV BACKSTAGE video, he explains why he expects this run to continue for many more years, allowing investors the full realization of value they may have missed the last two decades:
