AVI Japan Opportunity - Annual Overview from QuotedData

25(th) March 2025

Reforms at a tipping point

As we show in this note, AVI Japan Opportunity (AJOT) has delivered impressive
returns to its shareholders in recent years. The work that the manager Asset
Value Investors (AVI) has done to encourage the companies that AJOT invests in
to improve operations, capital structures, shareholder communications, and
corporate governance has borne fruit.

However, even as it exits a number of successful investments, AVI stresses
that AJOT has no shortage of opportunities to pursue and has an attractive
pipeline of new investments.

AVI suggests that the pace of corporate governance reform in Japan has reached
a tipping point. Management teams are more open to AJOT's constructivist
approach (a cooperative engagement style focused on long-term improvements
rather than adversarial activism), and the pool of potential wins has
expanded. In an uncertain world, an investment strategy such as this, that
does not rely on favourable macroeconomics, holds considerable appeal.
