INVESTMENT PHILOSOPHY

 
Japa International investment philosophy is based on the principle that we should: 1) invest the right amount of money to increase wealth and to limit losses and 2) devise successful strategies that provide positive expectations

Increase Wealth and limit losses

Japa International believes that asset allocation is key to successful investing.  We use a macro-economic approach and monitor world political and economic events, commodities, currencies and interest rates  to develop our asset class strategies.  We also meet or discuss asset allocation strategies with other fund managers or experts on a regular basis and review recommendations on asset allocation strategies from major investment houses.

Successful Strategies

Graham and Dodd in the 30s developed methods to valuate securities, looking for deeply depressed prices, Warren Buffett one of the most famous investor in history was also one their students and still remain a firm believer of their methods.   We also believe in the Graham/Dodd principles and adhere to it.  

In addition, Japa International has developed a disciplined approach to investment management seeking opportunities in companies that generate cash flows and create values. We believe that  company valuation should increase if a company's uses of cash create value and generate cash flow and vis versa, company valuation should decrease if a company"s uses of cash destroy value.

We also believe that investors are not rationale and opportunities exist seeking opportunities and catalysts.   Japa International has developed several strategies. As a student of behavioral finance we always seek opportunities and catalysts.

 However, at Japa International, we believe our most important role is to construct and manage portfolios that meet the individualized needs and expectations of our clients. As a boutique financial institutions, we can provide unique and targeted portfolios.  As a learning organization, we spend time with our clients to discuss  alternatives in order for them to make more informed decisions regarding their investment.
