Masami graduated from the Department of English and American Literature in the Faculty of Letters, Keio University. She is a Certified Member Analyst (CMA) of the Securities Analysts’ Association of Japan.
Masami has 20 years’ experience researching and analysing Japanese equities in non-Japanese securities companies. She has covered companies in the electronics, telecoms and small and medium-sized company sectors at Swiss Bank Securities (currently UBS Securities), and Jardine Fleming Securities (currently JP Morgan), and undertaken corporate research at Nikko Citigroup Global Markets, supporting investment by domestic and foreign institutional investors in Japanese listed companies. She believes in discovering the value of companies without being constrained by conventional ideas, and communicating this to institutional investors both inside and outside Japan. Masami has consistently appeared in Nikkei Analyst and Institutional Investor rankings. She has also worked as a buy-side analyst at the US hedge fund Indus Capital, enabling her to benefit from both sell-side and buy-side perspectives.
Since 2015, Masami has been involved in creating roadshow materials for companies engaged in IPOs, equity stories for listed companies, medium-term management plans, and financial results briefing materials for a major IR company. Masami believes that maintaining close relations with a company, and having frequent discussions, enable that company’s unique strengths to be discovered, making it possible to produce research materials that take into account investors’ thought processes and priorities. Investors can better understand companies when they are given this kind of assistance, which makes it possible to engage in active dialogue. She is pleased to be able to participate in the process of improving the competitiveness of Japanese companies.
