THE SPARX WAY
The SPARX way means individual stock selection through intensive company-specific research, including company visits, and a firm grasp of the local operating environment. Once our analysis identifies an undervalued company, SPARX next screens for any catalysts that may narrow the “value gap” between a company's intrinsic value and its market price. SPARX seeks to determine intrinsic value through a consistent methodology which includes evaluating various factors such as market growth potential, management quality, earnings quality and balance sheet strength.

It is our firm belief that employing this comprehensive approach, which dates to the firm’s founding in 1989, may minimize downside risks and may maximize long-term investment results.


"SPARX is now the global center for Asia investment intelligence.”
--Shu Abe, SPARX Group CIO and founder
