- Hennessy Japan Small Cap Fund Investor Class (HJPSX) is an open-end mutual fund that seeks long-term capital appreciation primarily through investment in equity securities of smaller Japanese companies, defined as those with market capitalizations typically in the bottom 20% of publicly traded Japanese firms; these include common stocks, preferred stocks, warrants, and other rights, with at least 80% of net assets plus borrowings allocated to such small-cap equities organized under Japanese laws, principally traded in Japan, or with a majority of assets or business there. The fund maintains a concentrated, high-conviction portfolio of approximately 66 holdings as of September 30, 2025, emphasizing growth-oriented companies with well-capitalized balance sheets, low debt, durable competitive advantages, high return on equity, sustainable earnings growth, strong cash flow, and valuation discounts; top sectors include industrials (36.9%), consumer discretionary (13.8%), and information technology (13.4%), with leading holdings such as Penta-Ocean Construction Co., Ltd. (3.41%), Nishi-Nippon Financial Holdings, Inc. (3.21%), and Maeda Kosen Co., Ltd. (3.17%). Sub-advised by Tokyo-based SPARX Asset Management Co., Ltd., and managed principally by Tadahiro Fujimura since inception alongside Takenari Okumura since 2020, it offers Investor Class (HJPSX, 1.53% gross expense ratio, $2,500 minimum initial investment) and Institutional Class (HJSIX, 1.13% expense ratio) shares, with total fund assets of $140 million, portfolio turnover of 42%, median market cap of $1.1 billion, median P/E of 14.8x, and median P/B of 1.5x as of September 30, 2025. Launched on August 31, 2007, and headquartered at Hennessy Funds in Novato, California, the fund targets individual and institutional investors seeking exposure to Japanese small-cap equities amid economic rebound opportunities, rising wages, and corporate governance reforms. Recent developments include capital gain distributions paid on December 4, 2025 ($2.29505 per Investor share), ongoing portfolio updates highlighting small-cap corporate improvements amid a new Prime Minister, tariff resolutions, currency volatility, and compelling valuations in October 2025, as well as strong year-to-date performance of 27.05% for HJPSX as of December 16, 2025, and participation in Hennessy Funds' 2025 CIO Roundtable discussing market trends.
