Japanese Equity Specialist, Ortus Advisors

Andrew Jackson

I have been trading Japanese equities since 2004, and have worked for a number of firms in Tokyo, HK and Singapore. For the last few years I have been primarily focused on developing a propietry long/short relative value sector neutral strategy for the TPX500, taking advantage of the sector depth and liquidity which only Japan has to offer in Asia.

The market is going to like the news that 2501 Sapporo is finally listening to activist investors who have been angling for the firm to divest some of its large R/E holdings.

4922 Kose is looking more interesting after it's failure to rebound looks to have been caused by a negative read from 4911 Shiseido’s poor numbers rather than anything company specific.
