Three small Japanese companies with big potential

Professional investor Eiji Saito of the JPMorgan Japanese Smaller Companies Trust picks three of his current favourite Japanese small-cap stocks.

Amid ongoing market volatility caused by Covid-19, looking beyond the immediate economic and political uncertainties can be challenging. Nevertheless, the fundamental long-term outlook for Japanese smaller companies remains positive and we see no shortage of exciting investment opportunities.

Quality companies boasting strong balance sheets and a positive long-term growth outlook have proven to be resilient through periods of heightened volatility, leaving them well positioned to thrive in the current market environment.
