Japanese Equity Specialist, Ortus Advisors

Trading Japanese equities since 2004 I have worked at several firms in Tokyo, HK and currently Singapore. My main focus since 2015 has been on fundamentally driven, sector neutral L/S strategies for the large-cap Japan universe, with a tilt towards the tech and industrial sectors.
