Chikara Japan Income & Growth Trust plc

A changing market – an unmissable opportunity

Japan has become one of the most compelling markets on the planet. After decades of stagnation and deflation, investment opportunity is being transformed by a more dynamic economy, a growth-focused government and a greater corporate focus on shareholder value.

The consistent performer for growth and income

Chikara Japan Income & Growth Trust was launched in 2015 expressly to take advantage of the economic and corporate transformation taking place across Japan.

Drawing on their deep market knowledge, Japan equity specialist Richard Aston and his tight-knit team identify 40-50 high-quality Japanese companies that are committed to delivering both long-term growth and a rising income for shareholders.

• Through this high-conviction stock selection and disciplined gearing, the trust's shares have outperformed the Japan TOPIX Index over 1, 3, and 5 years and since inception, see our Performance page.

• Plus, its focus on Japanese companies that pay a good income has driven 9 consecutive years of dividend growth, putting it in line to be the only AIC Dividend Hero in the Japan Equity sector.

The result: a new source of investment income and a powerful way to tap into an exciting new Japan.
