Toby Rodes founded Kaname Capital in 2018 to bring deep fundamental analysis and engaged ownership to Japanese small caps, a deep pool of operationally capable companies with strong product focus that too frequently suffer a material valuation discount because of substandard governance practices.

Kaname aspires to be a thoughtful, involved, and long-term "principal" owner of quality businesses with substantial valuation rerating potential. Toby previously spent 12 years at Boston based institutional manager GMO, where he managed roughly $4bn in both large and small cap equities in Japan.
