“It has been one year since the Fund initiated positions in three Japanese homebuilders during the first half of 2025. Regrettably, these investments have yet to yield positive results. The primary headwind has been the protracted slump in the U.S. housing market. This stagnation stems from persistent inflationary concerns—triggered by the U.S.-Iran conflict in the Middle East—which have driven up long-term interest rates and kept mortgage rates elevated. While developments have diverged from our original expectations, our conviction in these holdings remains intact. Investment Rationale and Hypothesis Revisiting the Original Thesis We would first like to revisit the rationale behind our positions in this sector. Japan’s three leading homebuilders—Sekisui House, Sumitomo Forestry, and Daiwa House have established a growing presence in the U.S. market.”

“As for the laggards, Daiwa House Industry Co., Ltd., a top Japanese developer of homes and commercial properties, Sumitomo Forestry Co., Ltd., a globally integrated Japanese homebuilder and timber company, specializing in wooden construction and Tokio Marine Holdings, Inc., Japan’s largest general insurance company with arguably the best underwriting track record and successful overseas expansion detracted the Fund’s performance.”

“PVC is a staple industrial material, primarily used in housing construction such as water pipes and window frames. This exposure aligns well with the homebuilder investments currently in our portfolio (Sekisui House, Sumitomo Forestry, and Daiwa House).”
