The Tawara No-Load Advanced Country Equity Fund Achieves Major Milestone

In a remarkable achievement for the investment world, the Tawara No-Load Advanced Country Equity Fund (hereafter referred to as Tawara/Aadvanced Country Equity) has successfully surpassed the monumental asset total of 1 trillion yen. As of October 27, 2025, the fund reported a total asset value reaching 10.47 billion yen, marking a significant milestone since its establishment.

The Tawara/Aadvanced Country Equity Fund was set up on December 18, 2015, and has since been a leading product in the no-load category, enjoying significant support from investors and sales agents alike. The consistent growth and increasing trust in this fund can be attributed to the meticulous management by Asset Management One Co., Ltd., based in Chiyoda, Tokyo, and led by President Nobuyuki Sugihara.

"We remain committed to nurturing the future through the power of investment," said Sugihara. Asset Management One continues to focus on supporting investors in their asset formation journey, thereby reinforcing consumer confidence in their strategic investment options.

In addition to the growth of the Tawara/Aadvanced Country Equity Fund, Asset Management One has also expanded the Tawara no-load lineup. There have been new fund launches within the last year, reflecting the company's commitment to providing diverse investment opportunities. The newly introduced funds include:

• - Tawara No-Load Indian Equity Nifty 50 (set up on December 11, 2024)
• - Tawara No-Load Indian Equity Nifty Midcap 50 (set up on May 27, 2025)
• - Tawara No-Load Gold (set up on September 22, 2025)

These funds are part of a broader strategy to cater to a wide range of investment needs, and detailed information regarding the Tawara No-Load offerings can be found on their dedicated website.

Understanding the Risks and Costs of Investment Trusts

Risks Involved

Investing in the Tawara No-Load Funds comes with its risks. Market fluctuation risk, exchange risk, credit risk, and liquidity risk are critical factors to consider. Each fund essentially invests in securities that can experience price volatility. Changes in market conditions, geopolitical stability, or shifts in economic outlooks can affect the securities' performance and impact investors significantly. Therefore, the gains and losses associated with these investments are the sole responsibility of the investors, who should be aware that their capital is not guaranteed.

Fees and Charges

There are no purchase fees, redemption fees, or trust property retention fees associated with the Tawara No-Load Funds. They do incur operational management costs (trust fees) at a capped annual rate of 0.09889% (excluding tax), alongside other transaction fees related to buying and selling securities, administrative processing fees, and custodial expenses abroad.

It is important to note that the total fees can vary based on the amount invested and the holding period. Any changes to tax regulations could also impact fee structures.

The data provided has been compiled based on sources deemed reliable; however, its accuracy cannot be absolutely guaranteed. Historical performance is not indicative of future results.

It is crucial to recognize that investment trusts are not equivalent to bank deposits or insurance contracts, nor are they covered by deposit insurance or investor protection funds if purchased outside regulated securities firms. Investors should understand that there are no guarantees on return of principal or yield, and investments can decrease in value, leading to potential financial losses.
