Message from the President

president

Daiwa Fund Consulting Co. Ltd. started consulting for pensions in 1994 as a business of Daiwa Institute of Research Ltd. In July 2006, we spun off from Daiwa Institute of Research Ltd., expanding the scope of our research to investment trusts, providing investment advice for fund wraps, and expanding our business as a gatekeeper centered on alternatives. Thanks to your support, we are celebrating our 20th anniversary this year.

We leverage our central research function, which focuses on fund due diligence, to access a wide range of funds from asset managers around the world. In addition to traditional asset classes, we have long cultivated expertise in alternative assets that have received increasing attention in recent years. Based on comprehensive fund evaluations, we provide high-quality services to support the portfolio management needs of all our clients.
