The portfolio typically comprises equity securities of companies traded on the Tokyo Stock Exchange and other recognized Japanese markets, with a focus on firms outside the large-cap segment. A bottom-up, fundamental research process guides security selection, with attention to business models, management quality and sector positioning.

As a closed-end structure, JOF provides continuous public market trading while allowing portfolio managers to take a long-term view without the pressure of daily redemptions.
