An honest approach
This site carries no advertising, no affiliate links, and no sponsored content.
When I recommend a broker, an ETF, or an investment approach, it is because I genuinely believe it is the best option — not because someone is paying me to say so. After 30 years in the institutional investment industry, my reputation matters more than a referral fee.
Why I write
I believe the structural transformation happening in Japanese equities is one of the most important investment stories of this decade. Most coverage in English barely scratches the surface. I write to bridge that gap — combining macro analysis, governance reform insights, and practical how-to guides that draw on real institutional experience.
