Who We Are
Who We Are Overview
A regional powerhouse with
global resources and reach
DIAM Co., Ltd. was established in 1999 by merging the asset management houses of the Industrial Bank of Japan Co., Ltd. (the current Mizuho Financial Group) and The Dai-ichi Life Insurance Company, Limited. Inheriting the long experience and strong investment foundation of its predecessors, the company, which was known as DLIBJ ASSET MANAGEMENT CO., LTD., further broadened its base to become one of the largest managers of Japanese pension assets. On January 1, 2008, to reflect the company's growth and increased international stature, the name was changed to DIAM Co., Ltd.
Today, in an economic landscape undergoing seismic change, our long experience in Japanese pension asset management — and our access to the resources of Mizuho-DL Financial Technology Co., Ltd., Dai-ichi Life Research Institute Inc., Mizuho Research Institute Ltd., and subsidiaries and affiliates around the world — uniquely positions us to assist investors in managing portfolio risks and returns on a global basis.
