QUICK

Investment thesis

QUICK, established in 1971 as a financial information services company within the Nikkei group, describes Japan's economy as reaching a turning point, moving out of deflation and shifting from savings to investment amid rapid AI-driven technological change. The company has expanded beyond delivering financial information via terminals to offering financial solutions—tools, services, and systems—and data solutions that analyze information (including non-financial data) to solve client challenges. Leveraging its strengths in finance and data, it aims to embed itself deeply in the operations of financial institutions, corporations, and municipalities, positioning itself as a trusted partner that co-creates new value while continuously adopting cutting-edge technology.
