Exploring Dual Investment Strategies in Finance and Real Estate by GA Partners CEO

Unlocking Dual Investment Strategies: Finance and Real Estate

There's an intriguing synergy between finance and real estate that is often overlooked in traditional investment discussions. Kuniaki Ozaki, the CEO of GA Partners, a company based in Tokyo’s Minato-ku, has dedicated his career to integrating these fields for more comprehensive asset management strategies. His recent publication, titled "Finance x Real Estate: The Dual Investment Strategy", aims to bridge the gap between these two essential domains.

Ozaki, having honed his financial expertise as an Asia Equity Sales Trader at Goldman Sachs, combines his valuable knowledge with practical experience in real estate investment consulting. This unique perspective allows him to provide readers with actionable strategies for protecting and growing their assets in today’s unpredictable economic climate. The book emphasizes a holistic investment approach, particularly necessary in times of rising inflation.

Context of Publication

The past thirty years have seen Japan navigating various economic cycles, particularly a prolonged period of deflation post-bubble burst. However, with signs of changing tides, including rising prices and interest rate fluctuations, the investment landscape is becoming increasingly complex and challenging. The traditional focus on savings in Japan places investors at risk of diminishing asset value, pointing to a growing interest in diversified investments, especially with the recent expansion of NISA (Nippon Individual Savings Account).

One of the significant challenges in Japan’s investment education is the tendency to compartmentalize various asset classes like stocks, FX, bonds, and real estate. This fragmentation can lead investors to make suboptimal decisions, lacking a unified perspective on how these assets interrelate in real-world scenarios. Ozaki’s "Finance x Real Estate: The Dual Investment Strategy" addresses these issues head-on, advocating for a comprehensive investment view that considers all asset classes as interconnected.

The Vision for Transformative Financial Education

In addition to his book, Ozaki leads the finance education platform "Manetore University", where individuals of all ages—from children to adults—can acquire essential financial knowledge. With over 1,500 seminar attendees so far, this platform is designed to provide systematic instruction on fiscal principles and practices. Through various curriculums, participants engage with topics ranging from interest rates and financial industry structures to real estate, stocks, FX, and portfolio optimization.

One of the key features of Manetore University is its commitment to ongoing education. Once enrolled, members become lifetime learners, receiving continuous support through weekly market and dataset analyses, monthly nationwide meetups, and exclusive seminars featuring seasoned professionals across different investment sectors. This holistic educational approach nurtures long-term growth in both knowledge and wealth for attendees.

Recognizing the importance of starting young, GA Partners also offers a financial education program for children known as "Manetore Kids", which facilitates both online and offline lessons tailored to different age groups and comprehension levels. The program encourages students to grasp fundamental concepts of finance and economic structures, fostering their ability to think critically and act independently from an early age.

Real Estate Development Ventures

Beyond education, GA Partners is actively engaged in real estate development in the picturesque Niseko and Rusutsu regions of Hokkaido. This includes land development, land sales, and villa construction, along with consulting services for investors interested in the area. Currently, the firm has design and consulting projects for ten villas in the Rusutsu area, with four of these slated for completion by spring 2026.

Niseko has seen considerable price surges recently, appealing to a consistent influx of international tourists. Within this booming market, GA Partners anticipates growing tourism demand around areas like Makari, Rusutsu, and Lake Toya. Particularly, Rusutsu is gaining traction as a new investment hotspot due to skiing developments—yet the demand for accommodations still outstrips supply. This supply gap represents significant investment opportunities, which GA Partners aims to exploit while enhancing regional value through sustainable real estate investments.

The Book’s Unique Contributions

In "Finance x Real Estate: The Dual Investment Strategy", readers will find a well-structured guide explaining the interconnected nature of interest rates, stocks, bonds, FX, and real estate while providing actionable insights to elevate both safety and profitability in their portfolios. Moreover, the book demystifies common misconceptions around the profitability of real estate investments. It also shares insights into the realities and evaluation metrics of resort and overseas investments, using examples from current hot markets like Niseko and Rusutsu, reinforcing the significance of development directions as determinants of investment success.

This book encapsulates insights drawn from the classroom experience of educating over 1,500 students—a testament to GA Partners’ commitment to sharing knowledge and propelling the financial growth and investment acumen of its readers.
