CEO Message
April 2026
Aozora Investment Management Co., Ltd. (“Aozora Investment”) has begun FY2026 as a new Aozora Investment under a new leadership as former Aozora Investment and Aozora Securities Co., Ltd. (“Aozora Securities”) got merged.
First of all, we express our sincere gratitude to all of the beneficiaries of our investment trusts, our distributing partners and investment management business partners.
Since our foundation back in 2014, we have striven with passion to nurture a wealth creation mindset through sound investments, particularly among retail investors with little or less investment experiences in Japan. In order to help our beneficiaries build a balanced portfolio to better support their lives in various stages, we have introduced and are introducing proven investment strategies and opportunities partnering with established investment manages around the world.
Upon the merger with Aozora Securities, Aozora Investment has now incorporated brokerage services besides existing asset management businesses and reinforces offering tailored securities-related businesses and services to financial institutions clients.
We are committed to improving our investment techniques and product governance to serve our clients in a responsible way. We are also committed to social responsibility as an investment management company with strong focus on financial literacy and education together with our distributing partners.
Aozora Investment humbly hopes to be a trustworthy partner for all so that we help our beneficiaries enjoy a better life and create a better future through sound investment experiences.
Again we thank all of our stakeholders for their support.

President and Chief Executive Officer
