In recent years, global inflation and rising prices in Japan have made maintaining and enhancing the real value of assets a crucial challenge. As the era of the 100-year life approaches, the importance of considering inflation in long-term asset formation is increasing.

The Fund invests in a wide range of asset classes globally, including stocks, bonds, and REITs, and also invests in assets expected to perform effectively during inflationary periods, aiming for long-term asset growth that exceeds Japan's inflation rate.

Furthermore, the Fund offers three courses (stable, standard, active) that can be selected according to the investor's objectives and risk tolerance, each aiming to achieve different return levels. Asset allocation is adjusted flexibly based on market conditions and inflation trends, aiming to maintain and enhance real asset value.

As an asset management company committed to "nurturing the future through the power of investment," Asset Management One will provide opportunities for asset formation in an inflationary era through this Fund and support the long-term asset formation of investors.
