The fund itself is to be tailored for HNWI’s worldwide that are prepared to undertake risky investments; however by the same token the potential capital returns are substantial.  According to Mr Hideki Yamamoto, Executive Director at CVS Group Tokyo, the risk ratio will be comparable with that of the Venture Capitalist Trusts of days gone by where returns of up to 3000% were feasible although at a high risk.  This will no doubt mean the vast majority of investors will consider the fund too high risk.

CEO at CVS Group, Tokyo, Mr Hiroto Shizuka said “investments in start-ups will always carry a monumental risk label, but we will be managing that risk for our clients via prudent stock selection, continual research, and risk spreading, so I fully expect to see vast capital growth on this product and huge financial rewards for those investors who can stomach the inevitable volatility”.

 

The CVS Group AESC (Aggressive Emerging Small-Cap) Fund will include stocks from each of the BRIIC markets, without restriction to market sectors.  Mr Hiroto Shizuka went on to comment “our investors seek quality companies, that are poised for greatness, but are financially constrained, and this is precisely what our team will deliver in the new year once the fund is open to public investment”.

 

At the present time the AESC Fund is scheduled to launch in February of 2014, pending client feedback and confirmation from the board of directors at CVS Group in Tokyo.  Mr Hiroto Shizuka however has stated that the launch maybe as later as June/July 2014 if the required criterion is not met in the first quarter of the year.
