Message from the President

Mikita Komatsu President

Daiwa Asset Management was established in 1959 as the core asset management company of Daiwa Securities Group, and through the patronage of our clients over the years, we have come to enjoy one of the highest AUM (assets under management) in Japan.

When we look at the global asset management industry, there are many companies with huge AUM, particularly in the U.S. and Europe. We strive to surpass these global giants with our enhanced quality and aspire to deliver
sustainable asset growth to our clients.

At the same time, we believe it is our mission to contribute to the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals formulated by the United Nations - leaving no one behind). We will pursue more professionalism and focus in this space and actively participate in stewardship activities, including engagement and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) issues.

Under our vision “All challenges for All investors”, our goal is to realize a future full of opportunities through investment, working together as a partner with “all investors” globally to help navigate the challenges ahead.

In this period of great transformation, including Japanese government’s “Doubling Asset-base Income Plan” and the introduction of the “New NISA” starting from 2024, we will continue to endeavor to become the most trusted and preferred asset management company for many more investors in the future. We sincerely appreciate your continued support and patronage.

Mikita Komatsu
President
Daiwa Asset Management Co. Ltd.
