Fidelity Japan Trust PLC (LON:FJV) Portfolio Manager Nicholas Price is interviewed by Fidelity’s Emma-Lou Montgomery on the Company and the exciting changes he is seeing happening first hand on the ground in Japan.
Fidelity Japan Trust PLC aims to be the key investment of choice for those seeking Japanese companies exposure.
The Trust has a ‘growth at reasonable price’ (GARP) investment style and approach – which involves identifying companies whose growth prospects are being under-appreciated or are not fully recognised by other investors. Although these companies may exist in all areas of the market the investment process often naturally leads the Trust to focus on medium-sized and smaller companies, where lower levels of analyst coverage creates more frequent or greater mispriced growth opportunities.
Japan’s economy is the third largest in the world and is the world’s second largest developed economy. For this Trust it is all about joining the dots between different ideas and forming a new line of enquiry. Research is key.
