Japan, the land of the rising sun, has emerged as the most enticing real estate market in the present day. This has resulted in a wave of foreign investors converging toward it, each with a distinct investment preference and a keen awareness of their capital.

Many of them depend on the expertise and deep experience of Tosei Asset Advisors (TAA) as a trustable partner in the implementation of investments, where exemplary performance is expected and received.

“We have a deep and broad knowledge of Japanese culture, customs, and real estate market regulations to assist all of our clients with the full range of Japanese real estate investments.” says Kaname Wakabayashi, president and representative director of TAA.

Our company offers a wide range of specialized services, including managing a substantial portfolio of properties, ongoing support for property management, meticulous property analysis, and a collaborative approach using the plan-do-check-act (PDCA) cycle. Its greatest strength lies in its ability to customize services to meet the distinct needs of individual investors, making it a rational and customer-centric choice for investment management in Japan.

A strong investment firm must demonstrate the capacity to adapt and innovate in the face of challenges. TAA has mastered this through its affiliation with the Tosei Group, a leader in the real estate industry.

Tosei Group excels in real estate revitalization and development, offering significant profit opportunities in real estate trading. Its diverse revenue stream is an added advantage, which includes rental, fund, consulting, hotel, and property management businesses. It takes a project management approach, drawing from knowledge gained across multiple sectors it operates in.

By capitalizing on the strengths of the Tosei Group, TAA adapts easily to changing market conditions. Even during the pandemic, it successfully maintained its assets under management (AUM) and offered vital support for those looking to buy or sell funds.

TAA has maintained AUM of over 2 trillion Japanese yen, which has only increased over the years. TAA recognizes that this is because the company continuously maintains a high IRR for each type of fund.

However, this consistent AUM growth is not due to constantly changing investors. It’s because the same investors appreciate the IRR they achieve. They appoint the company for subsequent investments and even recommend them to peers. This creates a positive cycle, as TAA’s capability and effort consistently deliver the desired IRR, increasing its AUM.

Investing in Japan requires a robust risk tolerance due to a distinct real estate market and potential currency and earthquake challenges. TAA approaches this challenge with a high degree of seriousness, understanding that even a single misstep could jeopardize the two trillion yen AUM. Its core principle centers around delivering customized, responsible service, aiming to meet and exceed its competitors. To achieve this, it maintains flexibility and responsiveness through an AI-supported system, effectively overcoming language and administrative barriers to cater to real-time customer needs.

TAA aspires to evolve into the ultimate custom-made asset manager. Its mission involves providing comprehensive support to Japanese and overseas investors interested in real estate acquisitions in Japan. The company actively encourages consultations and values investor appointments. Recognizing the intricacies of the Japanese market, it aims to enhance investor comprehension and invites collaboration with real estate professionals interested in Japan’s growth potential.
