We are delighted to announce we have won an award: CAMRADATA IQ Awards 2024 - Japanese Equities.  "The CAMRADATA Awards are presented to those vehicles that have the highest IQ scores across these asset classes. The IQ reports are based purely on the performance of asset managers’ funds over the 3-year time period ending December 2023."   Well done to Ben Williams, Mark Pearson and the whole Arcus team.

"Over the last few years, there has been a remarkable contrast between the performance of the Japanese stock market and the economy. Major companies with significant overseas exposure have benefited hugely from the extraordinary weakness of the yen. Meanwhile, domestic demand, particularly consumption, has stagnated as inflation, although low in international terms, has consistently outpaced wage rises. 

The result: people have less money in real terms and therefore spend less. 

Wisely, the Bank of Japan has refused to tighten monetary policy until there is a change in this configuration, but now there are clear signs that a new reality is taking shape. Inflation is set to decline, and wage hikes are set to increase. Thanks to this “golden crossover”, long-suffering Japanese workers will finally see real income growth – and spending should rebound accordingly."

Ekiden, a widely celebrated sport in Japan, symbolises teamwork, endurance and camaraderie as teams relay over long distances. With our deep understanding of Japan, we’re proud to be a part of this event as it brings a long-standing Japanese tradition to the heart of the UK.

Our Portfolio Manager Ben Williams recently sat down with Citywire Wealth Manager’s Nour Azhar (نور ازهر) Azhar to discuss Arcus’ contrarian investment strategy for Japan’s real estate sector. 

“Most real estate stocks have a certain amount of leverage – and investors thought that if interest rates are going to rise, we want to sell off real estate stocks. That gave us the opportunity in terms of valuations that were really attractive.”
