Saison Asset Management Co., Ltd. (Takahiro Sonobe, Representative Director and President; Headquarters: Toshima-ku, Tokyo; hereinafter 'the Company') is pleased to announce that the Saison Global Balance Fund (hereinafter 'the Fund') has won the 'R&I Fund Award' for the sixth consecutive year.
In the 'R&I Fund Award 2026,' the Saison Global Balance Fund received the Excellent Fund Award.
The Fund aims to suppress the risk of stock ownership and obtain stable long-term returns by combining stocks and bonds at a 50:50 ratio and investing in an internationally diversified manner through investment trust securities. When the ratio of stocks to bonds deviates from 50:50 by a certain margin, the Fund maintains its target asset allocation ratio through rebalancing. We believe that this management style has led to the Fund receiving the award for six consecutive years.
Our Company celebrates its 20th anniversary this year. Although the environment surrounding asset management has changed significantly over these 20 years, we have consistently worked on managing funds suitable for long-term asset formation despite such changes.
Moving forward, based on the management track record we have cultivated over the past 20 years, we will continue to support your lifelong investments as a fund that contributes to asset formation.
