Founded in 2003 with the management philosophy of "contributing to society through capital markets," Rheos Capital Works strives to realize a prosperous society through financial inclusion.

In ancient Greek, "rheos" means "to flow." The philosopher Heraclitus left us with the aphorism that all things are in a state of flux (panta rhei). The world is in a constant state of change, and in that change lies unlimited opportunity. We want to contribute to society through the capital market and create a better future together with our customers while changing ourselves to keep up with the times.

Japan is now at a major turning point, with inflation returning for the first time in 30 years and generative AI becoming a transformative presence in our lives. According to Bank of Japan statistics, the financial assets held by Japanese households exceed 2,000 trillion yen--and nearly half of that still lies dormant as cash and deposits.

By directing these dormant assets into businesses through investment, companies can put that capital to work, take on new challenges, grow, and breathe vitality into society as a whole--ultimately enriching the lives of everyone. Yet we feel we have not yet done enough to help spread this hopeful current throughout society.

We have already envisioned a prosperous future alongside you. And our mission is to share that vision with as many people as possible.

We believe that investment is "something that builds a future where people can live happily and safely." Rheos Capital Works will continue to create opportunities for people to discover investment, and to empower both companies and society at large. We will do so while upholding rigorous compliance, adapting flexibly to a changing world, and contributing to the creation of a better society through investment.
