We are one of the largest investment management companies in Japan, offering discretionary investment management, investment trusts and advisory services to a range of institutional investors, pension funds, government agencies and retail investors worldwide. Our investment expertise is leveraged off our industry-leading research platform and global network. We incorporate new investment techniques in response to an evolving market environment to provide top-tier performance that aims to deliver strong medium and long-term returns. While the asset management industry continues to grow globally, our clients’ expectations for investment management capabilities and services have become more complex and diversified. In order to fully meet these client needs, Sumitomo Mitsui Asset Management and Daiwa SB Investments merged in April 2019 to begin a new chapter as Sumitomo Mitsui DS Asset Management.
