Abstract:Established in June 2020, Monex Activist Fund has garnered more than 10 billion Yen in assets as its AUM as of February 25, 2022.
Growth in assets is driven by continued focus on its clients success.
Monex has continued to embrace innovations to better serve its customers.
Monex Asset Management, Inc., a subsidiary business owned by Monex Group, a financial services company based in Japan, announced today that its publicly offered investment trust fund, Monex Activist Fund, has surpassed 10 billion yen in assets under management. This marks a significant milestone for the funds two-year history.
Since its launch, the fund has remained as a major investment trust that invests majorly in Japanese firms that are undergoing a period of change. Besides that, the fund listens to the voices of individual investors as its asset owners.
While traditional activist funds are mainly focused on institutional investors, Monex Activist Fund not only caters for the needs of institutions and companies but also for individual investors to buy and sell its financial products any time from a small amount.
The success of the Monex Activist Fund is based on adopting a new way of activism regarded as 'Activism 2.0', which aims to create better returns for individual investors as well as institutions and firms.
