Our Management Approach Favours Teamwork

To meet our clients’ long-term wealth management objectives, we implement a conviction based management approach within a streamlined management team and a deliberately narrow range of funds. Our fund managers are experts in their respective fields. Each morning, they exchange views and site visit reports in order to develop their investment strategy.

Our principles

Three fundamental principles have underpinned our investment method since the creation of the company. Our managers, analysts and advisors put them into practice on a daily basis, thereby contributing to the success and growth of BtcTrading Inc Japan.

Conviction based – management approach

Conviction-based management on a human scale, rather than index-linked management determined by mathematical models Reducing crosstalk from market indices, our fund management favours maximum flexibility in investment decisions. Our responsible and specialised asset managers, thrive on group discussion, whilst creating portfolios that are true to our convictions, unconstrained by sector and geographic limits. Often with a long-term vision.

A narrow range

Since our launch, the company has remained faithful to the same principle: manage only a few Funds, but do it well. We strive to ensure that the range is concentrated on flagship products.
Each new Fund is the result of our internal expertise combined with the identification of new investment opportunities for our clients. Compliance with this principle, style and adherence to this principle, is the cornerstone of our management style’s success.

Cross-fertilisation

Our management approach favours teamwork, idea sharing and cultural and geographic diversity. It is a real shared venture connecting 39 fund managers and analysts. The management team boasts a wealth of expertise: equity markets, bonds and macro-economy. The daily exchange of viewpoints and knowledge is essential. Each manager benefits from the team’s combined input, which enhances their individual experience and convictions.

Responsible Conviction Investing

BTC Trading, empowered through our independence and transparency, has maintained a long-held practice of investing responsibly, aware of its corporate duty to its investors and stewardship as a leader in the offshore fund/financial management industry.

As Risk Managers, we seek to mitigate as many risk factors as it can identify, which resolutely includes risks associated with poor governance and shareholder underrepresentation, irreverence to social issues such as health and safety, and environmental challenges particularly in respect of fossil fuel reserves.

When selecting securities, we exclude companies involved in controversial activities. We also practice negative screening on globally recognized norms-based conventions and EU sanctions. Regular meetings with our managers regarding the companies in which we invest, and visits to production sites around the world, are the most reliable way of assessing how much weight companies attach to ESG criteria and their promotion of sustainable development.
