CC Japanese Income & Growth Trust has rebranded as Chikara Japanese Income & Growth Trust.
The trust, with £413.8m in net assets, retains its investment thesis, focusing on dividend income and capital growth through a high-conviction portfolio of 40 to 50 Japanese equities.
Meanwhile, Richard Aston, Theo Wyld, and Megumi Takayama will remain as investment managers.
The name change follows the 2023 renaming of the trust’s parent company Coupland Cardiff Asset Management to Chikara Investments. It is consistent with the trust’s sister funds, Chikara Japan Income & Growth fund and the Chikara Indian Subcontinent fund.
June Aitken, chair of the Chikara Japan Income & Growth Trust, said: “While the trust’s name is changing to align with its managers, our commitment to shareholders, the management team and their disciplined investment approach remains the same.
“Ultimately, the outlook and opportunity in Japan are just as exciting now, if not more so, than when we first launched.”
