Bloomberg announced today that Rheos Capital Works Inc. (“Rheos Capital”) has selected its buy-side solutions to optimize its operational workflow in research and compliance management. Rheos Capital is a privately owned boutique investment manager based in Tokyo, with an investment focus on Japan as well as global equity markets.

Founded by three investment specialists in 2003, Rheos Capital’s AUM has grown over 300 times to AUM US$ 7.108 billion, as at December 2017. Its flagship fund, Hifumi Fund, was awarded the best Japanese equity fund in 2017 by R&I, Japan’s leading credit rating agency.

Hideto Fujino, President and CIO at Rheos Capital said, “Rheos Capital’s investment philosophy is centered on high growth companies in Japan, while producing long-term capital returns. To support our investment strategy and business growth, we decided to adopt Bloomberg’s buy-side solutions so our investment managers can share trade ideas and conduct in-depth market analysis on the go, allowing our teams to move faster and achieve greater efficiencies in our workflow.”

Kuni Ishibashi, Bloomberg’s head of Japan said, “We are delighted to be the technology partner for Rheos Capital and to support its growth in Asia and beyond. By adopting our research and compliance management solutions, Rheos Capital will not only stay on top of the ever-changing regulatory environment, but also save time and reduce cost as a result. Rheos Capital is leading the way by setting new standards for operational efficiency amongst high growth investment managers, just as they did in their leadership of how long-term investment can contribute to the communities we live in.”

Rheos Capital is using Bloomberg’s Research Management Solutions for research workflow and Bloomberg Vault for communications archiving and surveillance.
