At a Group level, NAM manages US$85 billion of assets on behalf of institutions around the world (as at 31 March 2010).

Of this circa US$64 billion relates to Pacific Basin Equities (as at 31 March 2010). To support the management of these assets NAM conducted over 4,341 company visits relating to Japanese companies in 2009 - a good indication of the depth of resources at our disposal. Hence our claim to adopt "a better focus" i.e. a more detailed examination of the issues relating to each investment opportunity.

Given the scale of our operation in the Far East it is not surprising that NAM has become best known, within a European context, for our management of Pacific Basin Equities.

In Europe, we are recognised by clients and consultants as a specialist manager because of our expertise in managing Japan, Pacific Basin, and Asian accounts.
