JPMorgan AM Japan follows a GARP-oriented investment style, investing in Asian equity across sectors with a focus on financials, consumer durables and bonds. They seek to identify companies with growth potential not fully reflected in their market price, as well as companies with long-term earnings growth potential which are unlikely to be affected by economic cycles. Their equity investment process is based on fundamental analysis and includes company visits. Research is sector-oriented and shared within the parent group. In addition to qualitative criteria, the firm uses a discount dividend model to rank stocks. Their fixed-income investment process is based on credit analysis in relation to the economic environment.
