JPMORGAN JAPAN SMALL CAP GROWTH & INCOME PLC
(the 'Company')
PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT TEAM CHANGES
Legal Entity Identifier: 549300KP3CRHPQ4RF811
The Board of JPMorgan Japan Small Cap Growth & Income plc
has been informed by its Manager, JPMorgan Funds Limited, that Eiji
Saito, the Company's lead portfolio manager, will be leaving
JPMorgan after 18 years' service. Eiji has made the decision to
leave the industry after 26 years to return to university and
pursue a degree in law. Eiji has been a valuable member of the team
and led JPMorgan Asset Management's Japan Small/Mid Cap strategy
over the last 18 years.
Eiji's specific portfolio management responsibilities will be
transitioned to other members of the JPMorgan Asset Management's
Japanese Equity team.
Miyako Urabe will replace Eiji as the lead manager of the
Company and the JPMorgan Asset Management's Japan Small/Mid Cap
strategy. Miyako has spent 14 years within the industry, including
9 years at JPMorgan, having joined the Japanese Equities team in
2013. She has been a named manager on the multi-cap Japan Growth
Unconstrained strategy since 2015.
Xuming Tao will join Miyako as a portfolio manager of the
Company. Xuming was recruited to the team in 2019 as an investment
analyst to focus on Japanese Small Cap research and has worked
closely with the managers of JPMorgan Asset Management's Japan
Small/Mid Cap strategy since then.
Nao Ozawa will continue as a portfolio manager of the Company,
working alongside Miyako and Xuming. Nao has spent 16 years in the
industry, 14 years with JPMorgan and 4 years managing the Company.
Michiko Sakai will leave the team to focus on the JPM Japan
Sustainable strategy responsibilities.
The three portfolio managers will continue to work closely with
the highly experienced team in Tokyo that has been managing
Japanese equities mandates since 1969. They are supported by
JPMorgan Asset Management's extensive resources around the
world.
The Company will continue to pay quarterly dividends without
compromising the objective of achieving capital growth, funded from
dividends from investment holdings and capital reserves, equivalent
to 1% of its net asset value. There is no change to the investment
objectives or investment policies of the Company. These management
changes will come into effect immediately (on 19th January
2022).
The Board would like to thank Eiji for his contribution to the
management of the Company. It looks forward to working with the
portfolio management team and welcomes the new co-managers, Miyako
and Xuming.
