Valens, which currently oversees approximately $1.6 bln in assets and runs a variety of funds, launched the yen fund with assets of 1 bln JPY.

 

The Fund has been designed specifically in response to Japanese investor interest in the Valens investment strategy and it will provide qualified Japanese investors with access to a mirror image of the Laurus Offshore Fund, with minimal currency exchange risk. “Our yen denominated fund provides our Japanese investors with access to investments in U.S. micro cap and late stage private companies and makes their investments more stable for them, as they won’t be susceptible to the value of the dollar sinking or spiking at any time,” said Dennis Pollack, Partner and Senior Managing Director.
