AVI Japan Opportunity Trust is a closed-end investment trust that invests in a focused portfolio of over-capitalized small-cap Japanese equities. Managed by Asset Value Investors, the trust employs a fundamental, bottom-up value investment strategy to identify companies trading at a discount to intrinsic value. The investment process involves screening non-financial Japanese companies for operating businesses with net cash and securities exceeding a significant portion of market capitalization. The portfolio typically consists of 15 to 25 core holdings. Asset Value Investors, established in 1985, manages the trust using quantitative and qualitative techniques to engage with company management and unlock value in under-researched market segments.
