Who We Are

Established in 1987 and based in New York City, Nippon Life Global Investors Americas, Inc. (“NLGIA”) is wholly owned by Nippon Life Insurance Company in Japan (“Nippon Life”). NLGIA was formed for the sole purpose of providing investment advisory services to Nippon Life and its affiliates. NLGIA has been registered with the SEC as an investment adviser since 2012.

 

* Registration with the SEC does not imply that NLGIA or any person associated with NLGIA has achieved a certain level of skill or training.

Our five US investment teams support Nippon Life Group and its policy holders by pursuing income generation and risk management objectives over the medium-to-long term. Nippon Life integrates sustainability factors into its investment processes across asset classes. NLGIA similarly prioritizes sustainability as an important element of our strategy and operations.

NLGIA’s clear mission and vision are guided by our core values of sincerity, conviction and endeavor in serving employees, clients, and the broader community. We strive to establish deep relationships built on trust and respect, and we possess a steadfast commitment to pursuing investment objectives with discipline while exhibiting a high degree of integrity.
