NBJP aims for growth by investing in equity securities of companies with economic ties to Japan, covering a range of market capitalizations and sectors. The fund takes a research-driven approach to find high-quality companies through both quantitative and qualitative analysis. In the quantitative phase, portfolio managers look at metrics like return on equity and EBITDA margins, as well as a company's pricing relative to its intrinsic value. For qualitative insights, they consider factors such as management expertise and competitive positioning within the industry, focusing on a firms potential for sustainable growth. The evaluation process also incorporates ESG factors to gauge their financial impact on individual investments. As market conditions change, the fund may adjust its holdings based on how valuations or performances shift. NBJPs goal is to build a portfolio that targets growth opportunities while balancing risk and return through a proprietary scoring system.
