Why are you based in Tokyo, Japan?
We chose Tokyo because it’s one of the world’s most stable and globally connected financial centers. The city offers access to major markets across Asia, Europe, and North America, along with a culture that values precision and long-term thinking. Being based in Tokyo allows us to serve clients around the world with reliability, insight, and an international perspective.
How do I know which of your services is right for me?
If you’re not sure which service fits your needs, the best first step is to schedule a conversation with one of our advisors. They will take time to understand your financial situation, goals, and priorities, and then recommend the right combination of wealth management, planning, and investment solutions tailored to you.
Will I still have control over my investments?
Yes — at Banfield Capital you always retain control. Our role is to empower you to maximize your financial potential while preserving your autonomy. We provide guidance and structure, but you make the final decisions.
Do you welcome referrals from other professionals or existing clients?
Absolutely. Referrals are an important way our business grows, and we greatly appreciate introductions from trusted clients, as well as legal, tax, and accounting professionals who understand the value we provide.
Why do you ask so many detailed questions when I first become a client?
Your financial life is unique, and the deeper we dive into your background — your past investments, your goals, and your priorities — the better we can serve you. Gathering detailed information allows us to offer advice that reflects your individual circumstances and ensures your strategy is aligned with where you’re headed.
Is there a standard fee schedule for your services?
We do not use a fixed, one size fits all fee schedule. Instead, we tailor our pricing to the specific services and level of support each client requires. After our initial review, we provide a clear and transparent proposal so you know exactly what you are paying for. Our fees are structured to remain competitive within the industry while reflecting the high standard of advice, service, and ongoing support we deliver.
How secure is my personal information with Banfield Capital?
Protecting your privacy is a top priority for us. We maintain rigorous data security protocols and safeguard your information using the highest industry standards so that your personal and financial data remain confidential.
Why is retirement planning such a significant focus for your advisors?
We believe planning for retirement is not optional — it’s the foundation of long-term financial freedom. People often underestimate how much they’ll need to maintain their lifestyle, especially considering the impact of inflation and increasing life expectancy. By planning proactively, we help make sure you can rely on your own wealth and choices, rather than depending solely on external retirement systems.
What are the benefits of investing regularly (e.g., monthly or quarterly)?
Investing consistently over time offers two key advantages. First, it helps smooth out the impact of market fluctuations by averaging your entry price. Second, it encourages discipline — by committing to regular investments, you steadily build your wealth and focus on long-term growth rather than trying to time the market.
Where are you registered?
Banfield Capital operates as an offshore investment advisory firm headquartered in Tokyo, Japan. Our structure allows us to serve an international client base while maintaining the regulatory oversight and compliance standards required for cross-border wealth management. We are registered with the International Financial Regulatory Commission: www.theifrc.org.
Do I always have access to my funds?
Yes. At Banfield Capital, clients maintain full access to their assets at all times. You can withdraw or transfer funds whenever you choose. We do not impose lockup periods, redemption penalties, or restrictions on your ability to access your own capital. Our role is to manage and advise, not to limit your flexibility.
What is your investment philosophy?
Our philosophy is based on strategic allocation, disciplined research, and long-term perspective. We build diversified, multi-asset portfolios that balance growth, income, and risk management. Every recommendation is grounded in independent analysis and tailored to each client’s objectives and global financial profile.
How often will I hear from my advisor?
You will hear from us regularly through scheduled reviews, performance updates, and proactive communication when market conditions change. Clients can request additional meetings at any time. We believe in consistent, transparent engagement, and we encourage ongoing dialogue to ensure your strategy stays aligned with your goals.
Can you work with clients who live outside Japan?
Yes. Banfield Capital supports clients across multiple regions, including Asia, Europe, and North America. Our offshore structure and Tokyo base make it easy to manage cross-border portfolios, coordinate with professionals in other countries, and address the unique needs of globally mobile individuals and families.
How do you select investment opportunities?
We use a structured process that includes macroeconomic analysis, bottom-up research, and thorough due diligence. Opportunities must meet rigorous standards for quality, transparency, and suitability. Whether public markets, private credit, or direct investments, every idea is evaluated for risk, liquidity, and long-term value creation before we present it to clients.
Can you coordinate with my tax or legal advisors?
Yes. We frequently collaborate with external tax professionals, attorneys, and accountants to ensure your investment strategy is cohesive and compliant across jurisdictions. This coordination is especially important for expatriates, business owners, and families with complex or multi-country asset structures. Our goal is to support your entire financial ecosystem, not just your investments.
