President's Message

My name is Hiroaki Honda, and I have become President and CEO of ASTMAX Co., Ltd. effective July 1, 2010.

I am of the view that the world economy has entered into a new era where it would be very difficult to predict what would happen next from the traditional view point of "boom-and-bust" economic cycles.
In this new era of structural changes and uncertainty, it would also be difficult for the people to feel certain about the future and it is quite likely that very challenging situations would arise within a relatively short period of time.
Under such circumstances, I would like to pursue ASTMAX to be the organization that fully recognizes the social responsibility and public needs as an asset management company, based upon the respect to and the development of human resources which I believe the universal value in the conduct of any business.
We aim to be the company being trusted by the society under any circumstances and enabling to expand the business with speed, passion, responsibility and high specialties.

We would continue putting together all the efforts of ASTMAX and working fairly and honestly to meet the expectations of our clients and shareholders. I do respectfully ask for your continued support and patronage.

July, 2010
Hiroaki Honda
President & CEO
