Japa
International was established in 1997 in response to the needs of a family.
As such, over time, we
have developed processes to review and make recommendations on existing portfolios,
investments and corporate structures. We particularly focus on services to families with family
members, assets and/or interests in several countries.
We
encourage risk
management practices and the development of internal policies and
guidelines. Unfortunately, lack of clear direction and structures affect
not only performances, but also communication among family members.
We
are a research oriented office and focus on value-creation. We maintain database and analyze professional investors' performances, many
funds, including hedge funds and funds of funds, various pooled funds, commodity managed
and limited partnerships.
To
reduce the danger of conflict of interest, Japa International does not invest in
private equities. However, we will provide advisory services to families
on private equities including review of existing investments, mergers,
acquisitions and divestitures. We will represent or perform due diligence
services on acquisitions.
As
most families hold real estate, we have developed an expertise in property
management. We are currently in the process of developing relationships
and services that could be useful to our families.
A
family office is a lot more than an investment vehicle for family members.
It is also a place where in addition to dealing with the needs and the
wishes of the family members, we deal with legacies. We act as advisors and will
assist family members with their philanthropic activities
More
and more children and family members live and work in different countries. This
increases the complexity of operating a family office. Taxation impacts many
investment and estate planning decisions. We will assist our family
members on those issues.
