The origins of SPARX Group Co., Ltd. date back to 1989 when company founder Shuhei Abe set up one of Japan's first independent asset management boutiques specializing in Japanese equities, SPARX Asset Management Co., Ltd. Since then, the company has grown exponentially as it evolved into a diversified asset management company that now covers the whole breadth and width of Asia-Pacific markets. Since the 2000s, the company has developed into new investment fields such as clean-tech and renewable energy investments, and venture capital investment through Mirai Creation Fund established together with Toyota Motor Corporation and SMBC in 2015.
