AVI Japan Opportunity Trust is an investment trust established to provide shareholders with capital growth through investing in undervalued cash-rich and over-capitalised smaller (smaller cap) Japanese equities (companies). AVI will leverage its three decades of experience investing in asset-backed companies to engage with management and help to unlock value in this under-researched area of the market, encouraging them to follow the spirit of The Corporate Governance Code.
Investment objective
