Independent | Performance-Driven | Responsible
Masou Investment Management is an independent, owner-managed investment boutique, specialising in listed, Asia Pacific equities. We launched the Masou Asia Pacific Equity Fund, a Delaware Limited Partnership, in 2025 and are based in Sydney, Australia.
Masou was founded with two primary ambitions: to deliver superior investment performance for our clients and to manage our portfolio and business in a responsible manner. We named our business after the anadromous Masou salmon because we believe that if we are to achieve superior long-term client outcomes, we must have the courage to swim against the tide.
Masou Investment Management is regulated by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission and manages money on behalf of institutional and wholesale clients.
