Dalton Capital Japan, a subsidiary of Dalton Strategic Partnership LLP, said it will shut its Tokyo office, citing Brexit and shrinking demand from European investors.
“As we expect the business environment to toughen due to Brexit and given dwindling appetite in Japanese equities from European investors, operations will be consolidated with Dalton Strategic Partnership in London,†the asset manager said.
Operations at its Japan unit will end as of September 17 and the office will later be dissolved, the statement said. Dalton, a London-based boutique investment firm, started managing Japanese equities in 2003 and set up a Japan office in 2013, according to the company.
