SPARX’s Group
To Be the Most Trusted and Respected Investment Company in the World
Since its founding in 1989, SPARX’s mission has been to be the most trusted and respected investment company in the world. In order to achieve this goal, we believe that we need to have a deep understanding of our clients’ needs and goals.
SPARX has been a pioneer in introducing the Japanese equity long-short strategy to Japan. Since that time, this strategy has been widely adopted by other investment management companies.
Through the past two decades of investing in Asia, SPARX has encountered and overcome significant challenges, but through even the most difficult times, we have prospered by maintaining a singular focus on serving our clients’ needs. As an independent asset management company, we align our interests with those of our clients by operating without conflicts such as providing or underwriting services.
We are proud of the fact that our devotion to our clients enabled SPARX to become the first publicly-listed investment advisory company in Japan. We will continue to challenge ourselves to become the most trusted and respected investment company in the world.
