We have published a new Morningstar Qualitative Rating and Research Report for Schroder ISF Japanese Equity.

"Shogo Maeda has managed the fund since January 2006 and has the additional role as head of Japanese Equity. A veteran of the sector, he began his buy-side career in 1987. Prior to joining, he spent 12 years at Goldman Sachs Asset Management where he was CIO for the Asia Pacific team, as well as head of Japanese Equity. At Schroder he leads an experienced, stable team of 14. Team roles are clearly defined: There are five portfolio managers, eight sector-based analysts, and three small-cap specialists. This ability to cover the whole market is important as one of the areas that the manager often seeks to identify opportunities among mid-caps and small caps, areas where information can be scarce. Maeda shows a strong command of the Japanese market and works well on getting and does a good job leveraging the resources of what is one of the better analyst teams covering the Japanese equity market."
