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.

Our five US investment teams are dedicated to upholding our commitments to Nippon Life Group and its policy holders, achieving a relatively high income return over the medium-to-long term. Nippon Life is one of the few companies in Japan that has introduced ESG integration for all its assets — a rare and unique approach that differentiates it from many of its peers. Similarly, NLGIA prioritizes ESG as the core of all aspects 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 providing strong performance while exhibiting a high degree of integrity. Our collaborative dynamic allows us to collectively develop courses of action that are proven to succeed.
