About Us

Welcome to Rockhampton Management. We are a team of experienced investment professionals who have been delivering alpha in Japan since 2003. Our edge lies in our sector specialists who blend global insights with an intimate understanding of local markets, along with a rigorous risk management framework which has proven effective over numerous market cycles. Our mission is to be the partner of choice for investors seeking to allocate capital to Japan.

Rockhampton Management is a Japan-specialist investment manager. Our boots-on-the-ground research capabilities in Japan provide us with a distinct local edge and a profound understanding of the Japanese market. This, in combination with our team’s global perspectives, offers us a unique advantage. We recognise that investing in Japan demands more than just surface-level knowledge commonly seen among generalists. It requires a deep understanding of industry dynamics and cultural nuances particular to Japan, and the ability to distinguish between honne (the truth) and tatemae (the facade). Leveraging our extensive research experience and history of engaging in dialogue with corporate management teams, our team of sector specialists is able to sift through the market to distinguish the leaders from the stragglers.
