About Us

Based in Tokyo, Japan, Koyal Group is a boutique equity research house and has its foundations set in personal client advisor relationships, and despite being one of the largest equity research houses in Asia we are proud to say we maintain strong interpersonal links between our clients and their allocated advisors. This along with our approach to financial analysis has meant Koyal Group has grown year after year since 2003.

Our analysts specialise in equity research, but also offer fixed income analysis for users of other instruments. Within the equities division we specialise in Technology, Financial and Industrial/ Metals research.

Essentially we seek to identify within these sectors, distressed or undervalued securities, and once we have identified a security we feel may be suitable for investment we then conduct a thorough fact finding session and employ a multitude of quantitative and qualitative calculations in order to assess whether the security is viable for recommendation to our clients.

Our history stretches back over ten years to January 2003 when the company was established, since which we have grown two hundred fold in terms of staff and managed to keep the majority of our original client base, which we believe is testimony to us having provided a service that is second to none.

Koyal Group is founded on the idea efficient investing comes not from the desire simply to generate a profit, but more from the desire to share in the successes of quality companies over the long term in mutually beneficial relationships.

Research is key to all that we do, and the reason that we are successful as a company each year. Essentially Koyal Group identifies marketplace and consumer trends, in the global equity markets within specific sectors.

Once an emerging trend has been identified, it is then up to our analysts to make a decision as to whether or not that trend will continue to facilitate sustained growth, or simple subside. If the potential for growth is considerable, our analysts with continue to monitor the trend.

Our ultimate goal therefore is to identify and invest in undervalued markets, sectors, and companies which fall within trends we have identified.

Koyal Group is and will ever remain an equal opportunities employer. We strive to achieve success, and feel that this is best achieved by not limiting ourselves by gender or race.
