Nikko expands global fund offering
Nikko Asset Management will expand its suite of investment products available to high net worth investors with two new collective investment vehicles offering global equity and multi-asset exposure to developed and emerging markets.
The two new funds will be offered as Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities (UCITS) and will offer institutional quality strategies to sophisticated global investors. The recently offered Nikko AM Global Share Fund substantially invested in the UCIT global equities strategy.
The move is part of an ongoing expansion of the group's investment capabilities and taps into the increased popularity of UCITS among global investors who want to access cross-border markets efficiently.
Nikko AM's executive vice president and global head of sales, Takuya Koyama, said the launch of further UCITS funds was central to Nikko's strategic effort to expand its business.
Nikko AM, Global Head of Investment, Yu-Ming Wang, said the group wanted to leverage its expanded investment capabilities and expertise, and make the skills of its investment professionals available to a broader range of global clients.
