Abundia Opportunities Fund Limited was founded by Yusuke McKenzie, a seasoned investment professional with a background in quantitative research and private equity. The Fund is managed by a dedicated team with over 30 years of combined experience across hedge funds, private equity, and global asset management.
Yusuke began his private investment journey in 2021 by establishing Abundia LLC, a 100% wholly owned investment platform in Japan, while concurrently serving as an investment manager at a global private equity firm. During this period, he began applying world-class investment methodologies acquired from his tenure at leading financial institutions to build proprietary investment strategies.
In 2022, Yusuke transitioned full-time to focus on his investment philosophy. To institutionalize and expand the platform, Abundia Opportunities Fund Limited was launched as an Incubator Fund registered with the Financial Services Commission of the British Virgin Islands, licensed under Certificate of Status number SIBR/IFAF/25/0747. The fund currently operates as a family office vehicle, managing 100% proprietary capital of the founders/family.
We are now preparing to open the Fund to external investors. To support this expansion, we are considering the establishment of a licensed investment management entity to oversee the Fund in a regulated capacity. As an emerging manager, we are actively seeking strategic partners, either through the setup of a licensed asset management firm to act as General Partner or via direct GP/LP investment into the current structure.

Abundia was born out of both necessity and conviction. Following a period of hospitalization for cancer treatment, a life event that forced me to reflect deeply on purpose, resilience, and legacy. I decided to channel my energy into building something with purpose and long-term impact. Now fully recovered, and with renewed clarity, I set out to create an investment platform that embodies the values I hold most dear: discipline, accountability, long-term thinking, and a commitment to responsible investment.
With 100% of the capital initially funded from my own resources, Abundia began as a proprietary family office. While we are still in the early stages of our evolution, our aim is to grow into a globally integrated hedge fund that combines traditional investment discipline with modern technological capabilities. We are building a platform that leverages AI-assisted analysis, research automation, and systematic screening/investing to identify inefficiencies across asset classes. This is not about replacing human judgment with automation, but about using technology to sharpen insight and empower better investment decisions.
Investing, to me, is not merely a pursuit of returns, it is also a responsibility. It is an act of stewardship that demands both financial discipline, a long-term commitment to improving the world around us, and at the same time a commitment to create value for the benefit of fund provider. Japan, like many advanced economies, stands at a crossroads, grappling with demographic decline, underutilized capital, and legacy governance models that often limit corporate agility. Yet Japan also possesses huge capital markets, globally competitive companies, and a culture rooted in discipline and resilience. For the country to thrive in a rapidly evolving global economy, it must modernize its financial ecosystem, adopting data-driven, quantitative investment practices, while strengthening corporate governance and accountability.
At Abundia, we see a critical role for active ownership and corporate engagement. We believe that improving capital efficiency, transparency, and board responsiveness is essential not only to enhance shareholder returns but also to revitalize Japan’s global competitiveness. Many listed firms remain undervalued due to structural inefficiencies, inefficiencies that cannot be unlocked through passive investing alone. Our mission is to engage with companies constructively, help optimize balance sheets, and unlock its potential corporate value.
Our name, “Abundia,” is inspired by the Roman goddess of abundance, not symbolizing excess, but representing dignity, opportunity, and meaningful prosperity. That ethos underpins everything we do. We are not merely building a fund, we are creating a strategic investment platform that seeks to influence outcomes where it matters most. As we begin to open our strategy to select external partners, we welcome those who share with us the same values.
Together, we aim to deliver not only compelling financial results, but a lasting contribution to the transformation of Japan’s capital markets and the future of responsible investing in Japan and world markets. We are building not just a fund or a platform, but a community, and a legacy.
