Areas of Expertise
1. Our Track Record
Real Estate Investment Management
We provide world-class services to institutional investors
Touchstone Capital Management provides separate account real estate investment management services to Japanese and foreign institutional investors. Separate account investment allows our individual investor clients to make more aggressive investment decisions, achieving sound risk management and value creation by capitalizing on our expertise and skills.
Touchstone’s mission is to do everything we can to help our clients achieve their investment aims. We discern investment targets that match the investors’ guidelines and provide satisfactory and comprehensive services through to the ultimate exit when the client exits from the investment in the future. We adequately explain the differences between business customs as well as the legal systems in Japan and elsewhere, and ensure transparency in transactions that are free from conflicts of interest. We make sure that the barriers and risks specific to Japan that many overseas investors encounter are not issues for our clients.
Touchstone’s investment management team applies its knowledge and skills to provide strategic, effective services that paint a true picture of the ever-changing Japanese market. Please visit our Portfolio page to see some of the assets we are managing.
