The Fincity.Tokyo initiative “EM Showcase” is as follows.
【What is EM Showcase
?】 EM Showcase is an initiative aimed at raising awareness of “Emerging Managers (EM)” among domestic and international institutional investors. It selects and publicizes domestic
EMs that meet FinCity.Tokyo’s criteria, focusing on firms with unique investment methodologies or philosophies, as well as those proposing business models not traditionally found within the industry.
This initiative began in fiscal year 2023, selecting and announcing 15 EMs in its first year and 23 EMs in the following fiscal year 2024. The selection of EMs for the showcase is conducted by a selection committee comprising major domestic asset management companies and asset owners.
