Greetings
Nippon Building Fund Management Ltd. (NBFM) was established in September 2000 for the purpose of managing the assets of Nippon Building Fund Inc. (NBF).
In September 2001, NBF became the first Japanese real estate investment corporation to be listed on the real estate investment trust (J-REIT) section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange and, thanks to all, has steadily accumulated positive results and been able to make stable distributions of profit amidst the overall continued healthy growth of the J-REIT market.
Management of assets is conducted through maximum utilization of the know-how of NBFM’s shareholders such as Mitsui Fudosan Co., Ltd., Sumitomo Life Insurance Company, Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Bank, Ltd. and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation.
NBF is committed to continually do its utmost to achieve stable profits on a medium-to-long-term basis and earn the unwavering trust of all related parties starting with investors and tenants. NBFM aspires to contribute to the further development of NBF as well as the J-REIT market, as a leading J-REIT manager.

Management Policies
-
Through efforts for appropriate and active disclosure of its financial and non-financial information, NBFM will conduct transparent management activities.
-
Based on a high sense of corporate ethics, NBFM will strive to improve the compliance system and conduct honest and fair business activities.
-
Through customer-oriented asset management, NBFM will provide comfortable office environments and heighten the satisfaction and trust of tenants.
-
By way of high quality fund management, NBFM will seek the improvement of unitholder value on a mid-to-long-term basis, i.e., the stable growth of DPU (distributions per unit) on a mid-to-long-term basis as well as an increase of NAV (net asset value) per unit.
