Bridging Investors and Global Markets: Bringing ‘Japan Quality’ from Singapore－Fumio Matsushima（Nippon Wealth PB Pte. Ltd. Executive Director＆CEO）
Singapore continues to thrive as a leading financial hub in Asia. In this exclusive interview, we sat down with Mr. Fumio Matsushima—a seasoned financial executive who has honed his expertise across the world’s major financial capitals, including New York, Tokyo, Hong Kong, and Singapore. We spoke with him about the strategic reasons behind establishing his business in Singapore, the firm’s unwavering commitment to “Japan Quality,” and his vision for the road ahead.
From Singapore to the Investors Globally
Q：Could you share the reasons behind choosing Singapore as your base, and what makes this country so appealing to you?
Singapore is a nation characterized by exceptional transparency and a highly stable legal framework. As geopolitical uncertainties intensify worldwide, the need for individuals to manage their assets with peace of mind will only continue to grow.
Furthermore, in Singapore, an efficiently run, highly digitalized society seamlessly coexists with lush greenery and a spacious, comfortable living environment. To me, this unique harmony between cutting-edge infrastructure and natural tranquility is the ultimate charm of Singapore.
From Platform to Active Fund Manager: The Evolution of Nippon Wealth
Q：Looking back from your founding to the present, what stands out as the most significant transformation within the firm?
When we first started, while we were authorized as a Fund Management Company, our primary focus was acting as an EAM (External Asset Manager) platform to facilitate overseas asset management according to client’s investment preferences rather than running in-house funds.
In November 2024, however, we marked a major milestone by officially launching our hedge fund business. Today, while preserving the EAM platform strengths we have cultivated over the years, we are expanding our asset management activities.
The most profound shift is that we can now offer our clients a wider range of tailored choices, unlocking access to broader investment opportunities across global markets.
Cultivating Long-Term Trust Grounded in “Japan Quality”
Q：What exactly is the core philosophy behind Nippon Wealth’s signature value, “Japan Quality”?
By establishing our base in a premier financial hub, Singapore, we have built an environment that allows us to introduce financial products and investment strategies from around the globe. For our Japanese clients in particular, we want to provide frictionless access to these global financial markets, removing any barriers arising from differences in language or traditional business customs.
It is vital to explain complex investment products and asset management strategies clearly, using language that truly resonates, so that our clients grasp both the risks and returns. For us, ‘Japan Quality’ means honoring the spirit of genuine Japanese hospitality (omotenashi), providing meticulous attention to detail, and maintaining transparent, sincere communication. By nurturing every client relationship with utmost care, we aim to build sustainable, lifelong partnerships.
Leveraging Global Experience into Trusted Asset Management
Q：How has your extensive experience across New York, Tokyo, Hong Kong, and Singapore shaped your current approach to wealth management?
Market conditions vary greatly by country and era, yet one reality never changes in any market: investing always carries risk and return. Because of this, we refuse to focus merely on selling products. Our priority is helping clients comprehend these risk-return dynamics well so they can manage their assets with peace of mind.
Rather than chasing short-term results, our mission is to build long-term relationships based on trust and support sustainable wealth formation. That is the single most vital lesson I have carried with me from markets around the world.
A Bridge Connecting Investors to Global Markets
Q：Looking ahead, what role do you hope to play alongside Singapore’s ongoing evolution?
Amid rising geopolitical risks, the importance of having a safe haven where wealthy individuals can confidently entrust their wealth has never been higher. As a market built on exceptional transparency, stability, and predictability, Singapore will undoubtedly continue to prosper and lead.
With our core business centered on supporting Japanese clients, we aim to grow in tandem with Singapore by delivering diverse global investment opportunities and strategies in an accessible, transparent manner.
Ultimately, we aspire to be recognized by our clients as their invaluable ‘navigator’ a trusted guide who support our clients in navigating global markets and making informed wealth management decisions.
