AVI is proposing an integrated set of measures to solve Fujitec’s problems. The recommended solutions are not narrowly focused on balance sheet improvements, but also address strategy and governance.
We want to support Fujitec in becoming a best-in-class elevator & escalator company focused on Asia, after-sales services, and technology.

Founded in London in 1985, AVI has a long history of investing in Japan. Over the past few years we have observed the heightening interest in Japan driven by corporate governance reforms. What we have seen convinces us that profound change is underway, and we launched a dedicated fund, AVI Japan Opportunities Trust (‘AJOT’), to target the plentiful opportunities the reforms will bring. Across AJOT and AVI Global Opportunities Trust (‘AGT’), AVI has ¥55bn invested in Japan.
We always take a long-term view with our investments, seeking high-quality companies that the market misunderstands and undervalues. We work with company management and boards to improve long-term corporate value.
