"Motiwala Capital's Japan strategy posted a stellar +31.7% net return in 2025, capitalising on historic corporate governance reforms, record buybacks, and political tailwinds that are unlocking massive value across Japanese equities."
In its 2025 Year end letter, Motiwala Capital reported that its Japan Capital Appreciation Strategy achieved a net-of-fees return of +31.7%. The performance was propelled by strong alpha in domestic technology and engineering holdings (e.g., Ryoyu Systems, Business Brain Showa-Ota, JFE Systems), with only one detractor (TDC Soft) out of 32 total positions. The letter outlines fundamental shifts unlocking value in Japanese equities, highlighting that 33% to 44% of companies on the TSE still trade below book value. Key structural drivers include the unwinding of cross-holdings (led by Toyota's massive $33 billion deal), record-high dividends and share buybacks, Warren Buffett's increased stakes in trading houses to over 10%, and Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's ¥42.8 trillion pro-growth fiscal stimulus. The manager remains very bullish on the multi-year outlook for Japanese equities.
