Company Overview

Schroder Japan Trust plc is a United Kingdom-based investment management company. The Company's principal investment objective is to achieve capital growth from an actively managed portfolio principally comprising securities listed on the Japanese stock markets, with the aim of achieving growth in excess of the TSE First Section Total Return Index in sterling over the longer term. Investments may also be made in companies listed elsewhere but controlled by Japan or with material exposure to the Japanese economy. The portfolio is mainly invested in equities but may also be invested in warrants, convertibles and other derivative instruments where appropriate. The Company may invest up to 5% of its assets in securities which are not listed on any stock exchange but would not normally make such an investment except where the manager expects that the securities shortly become listed on a Japanese stock market.
