A. Organization

Nomura Partners Funds, Inc. (formerly, The Japan Fund, Inc.) (the “Corporation”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Maryland in 1961. Effective December 1, 2008, the Corporation changed its name from The Japan Fund, Inc. to Nomura Partners Funds, Inc. The Corporation is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Corporation currently consists of the following nine series: The Japan Fund, Asia Pacific ex Japan Fund, India Fund, Greater China Fund, Global Equity Income Fund, Global Emerging Markets Fund, Global Alpha Equity Fund, International Growth Equity Fund and International Equity Fund (individually a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”). Each Fund is classified as a diversified series of the Corporation under the 1940 Act, except for India Fund and Greater China Fund which are non-diversified.

 

B. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The Funds’ financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), which requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management has evaluated the impact of all events or transactions occurring after period end through the date these financial statements were issued, and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies:

Security Valuation. Securities listed or otherwise traded on a securities exchange, market or automated quotation system for which quotations are readily available, including securities traded over the counter, are valued at their most recent sale price as of the close of regular trading on the primary exchange or market (foreign or domestic) on which they are traded, or if there is no such reported sale on the valuation date, at the most recent quoted bid price. If such prices are not available, the security will be valued in accordance with fair value methods approved by the Board of Directors (the “Board”). In the case of certain foreign exchanges, the closing price reported by the exchange (which may sometimes be referred to by the exchange or one or more pricing agents as the “official close” or the “official closing price” or other similar term) will be considered the most recent sale price. If a security is traded on more than one exchange, or upon one or more exchanges and in the OTC market, quotations are taken from the security’s primary exchange or market.

If available, debt securities are priced based upon valuations provided by independent, third party pricing agents. Such values generally reflect the last reported sales price if the security is actively traded. The third-party pricing agents may also value debt securities at an evaluated bid price by employing methodologies that utilize actual market transactions, broker-supplied valuations, or other methodologies designed to identify the market value for such securities. Such methodologies generally consider such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, call features, ratings and developments relating to specific securities in arriving at valuations. On the first day a new debt security purchase is recorded, if a price is not available on the automated pricing feeds from the Funds’ primary and secondary pricing vendors nor is it available from an independent broker, the security may be valued at its purchase price. Each day thereafter, the debt security will be valued according to the Funds’ Fair Value Procedures until an independent source can be secured. Debt obligations with remaining maturities of sixty days or less may be valued at their amortized cost, which approximates market value. If such prices are not available, the security will be valued by an independent broker or pursuant to the Fair Value Procedures, as applicable.


Participatory notes are valued based on the current day’s price of the underlying securities if a quoted price is not available.

Following the valuations of securities or other portfolio assets in terms of the currency in which the market quotation used is expressed (“Local Currency”), the value of these portfolio assets in terms of US Dollars is calculated by converting the Local Currency into US Dollars at the prevailing currency exchange rate on the valuation date.

Redeemable securities issued by open-end investment companies are valued at the investment company’s applicable net asset value (“NAV”), with the exception of exchange-traded open-end investment companies which are priced as equity securities as described above.

If market quotations, official closing prices, or information furnished by a pricing service are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value for a security, or if a security’s value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, including, but not limited to, when (i) the security’s trading has been halted or suspended, (ii) the security has been de-listed from a national exchange, (iii) the security’s primary trading market is temporarily closed at a time when under normal conditions it would be open, (iv) the security has not been traded for an extended period of time, (v) the security’s primary pricing source is not able or willing to provide a price, (vi) trading of the security is subject to local government-imposed restrictions and (vii) a significant event with respect to a security or securities has occurred after the close of the market or exchange on which the security or securities principally trades and before the time the Funds calculate net asset values, that security will be valued by another method that the Board believes accurately reflects fair value in accordance with the Board’s fair value pricing policies.

These events may create arbitrage opportunities that may enable short-term traders to dilute the NAV of long-term investors. Securities trading in overseas markets present time zone arbitrage opportunities when events affecting portfolio security values occur after the close of the overseas market but prior to the close of the US market. Also, the sub-advisors believe that foreign securities values may be affected by volatility that occurs in US markets on a trading day after the close of foreign securities markets. The fair valuation procedures, therefore, include a procedure whereby foreign securities prices may be “fair valued” by an independent pricing service or by the Corporation’s Fair Value Committee, in accordance with a valuation policy approved by the Board to take those factors into account.

The Board has adopted valuation procedures for the Funds and has delegated day to day responsibility for fair value determinations to the Corporation’s Fair Value Committee. Fair value determinations that affect a Fund’s NAV are subject to review, approval or ratification by the Board. Securities for which fair valuation has been applied at June 30, 2010 are annotated within the Schedules of Investments.

There can be no assurance, however, that a fair value used by the Funds on any given day will more accurately reflect the market value of a security or securities than the market price of such security or securities. A security’s valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. Fair valuation of a Fund’s portfolio securities can serve to reduce arbitrage opportunities available to short term traders, but there is no assurance that fair value pricing policies will prevent dilution of a Fund’s NAV by short term traders.


In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under GAAP, the Fund discloses the fair value of its investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. These inputs are summarized into the three broad levels listed below. Each Fund’s hierarchy can be found on the Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including each Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-06, “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements” (“ASU 2010-06”). ASU 2010-06 requires new disclosures regarding transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009. The Funds disclose significant transfers between levels based on evaluations at the end of the reporting period. For the period ended June 30, 2010, there were no material transfers between Levels 1 and 2. ASU 2010-06 will also require additional details regarding Level 3 transaction activity effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2010. Management is currently evaluating the effect that this additional requirement will have on the Funds’ financial statements.

Real Estate Investment Trusts. Each Fund is permitted to invest in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”). If a Fund invests in a REIT, such Fund will be subject to the risks associated with owning real estate and with the real estate industry generally. These risks include difficulties in valuing and disposing of real estate, the possibility of declines in the value of real estate, risks related to general and local economic conditions, the possibility of adverse changes in real estate markets, environmental liability risks, the risk of increases in property taxes and operating expenses, possible adverse changes in zoning laws, the risk of casualty or condemnation losses, limitations on rents, and the possibility of adverse changes in interest rates. To the extent a Fund invests in REITs, it will also be subject to the risk that a REIT will default on its obligations or go bankrupt. By investing in REITs indirectly through a Fund, a shareholder will bear not only his or her proportionate share of the expenses of the Fund, but also, indirectly, similar expenses of the REITs.

Restricted Securities. Each Fund is permitted to invest in restricted securities. Restricted securities are subject to legal restrictions on their sale. Difficulty in selling securities may result in a loss or be costly to the Funds. Restricted securities generally can be sold in privately negotiated transactions, pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or in a registered public offering. Where registration is required, the holder of a registered security may be obligated to pay all or part of the registration expense and a considerable period may elapse between the time it decides to seek registration and the time it may be permitted to sell a security under an effective registration statement. If, during such a period, adverse market conditions were to develop, the holder might obtain a less favorable price than prevailed when it decided to seek registration of the security.

Participatory Notes. Each Fund may invest in participatory notes, which function similar to American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) except that non-US-based brokerages, rather than US banks, are depositories for non-US-based securities on behalf of foreign investors. Non-US-based brokerages buy locally-based securities and then issue participatory notes to foreign investors. Any dividends and capital gains collected from the underlying securities are remitted to the foreign investor. However, unlike ADRs, participatory notes are subject to credit risk based on the uncertainty of the counterparty’s (i.e., the non-US-based brokerage’s) ability to meet its obligations.


Foreign Currency. The books and records of the Funds are maintained in US Dollars. The valuation of investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into US Dollars at the prevailing exchange rates each business day. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated into US Dollars at the prevailing exchange rates on the respective dates of the transactions.

Net realized and unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent net gains and losses between trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the disposition of forward foreign currency exchange contracts and foreign currencies, and the difference between the amount of net investment income accrued and the US Dollar amount actually received. That portion of both realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments that results from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates are not separately disclosed but are included with net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investment securities.

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts. The Funds may enter into forward foreign currency contracts as hedges against specific transactions, Fund positions or anticipated Fund positions. The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded, as the Funds do not intend to hold the contracts to maturity. All commitments are “marked-to-market” daily at the applicable foreign exchange rate, and any resulting unrealized gains or losses are recorded currently. The Funds realize gains and losses at the time forward contracts are extinguished. Unrealized gains or losses on outstanding positions in forward foreign currency contracts held at the close of the year are recognized as ordinary income or loss for Federal tax purposes. As of June 30, 2010, there were no forward foreign currency contracts outstanding.

 

C. Affiliated Holdings

Affiliated holdings are mutual funds which are managed by Nomura Asset Management U.S.A. Inc. (“NAM USA”) or an affiliate of NAM USA or which are distributed by an affiliate of the Funds’ distributor. With respect to each Fund, NAM USA was paid an investment advisory fee by the affiliated Funds listed beneath its name below.

E. Principal Risks of Investing in the Funds

Investment Risks. The Funds’ investments in foreign companies involve certain risks not typically associated with investments in securities of US companies or the US Government, including risks relating to (i) social, economic and political stability; (ii) price volatility, lesser liquidity and smaller market capitalization of securities markets in which securities of foreign companies trade; (iii) currency exchange fluctuations, currency blockage and higher levels of inflation; (iv) controls on foreign investment and limitations on repatriation of invested capital and on the Funds’ ability to exchange local currencies for US Dollars; (v) governmental involvement in and control over the economy; (vi) risk of nationalization or expropriation of assets; (vii) the nature of the smaller, less seasoned and newly organized foreign companies; and (viii) the absence of uniform accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards, practices and disclosure requirements and less government supervision and regulation.

Concentration of Market Risk. Investing in foreign countries poses additional risks since political and economic events unique to a country or region will affect those markets and their issuers. These events will not necessarily affect the US economy or similar issuers located in the US. In addition, investments in foreign countries are denominated in foreign currencies. As a result, changes in the value of the foreign currencies compared to the US Dollar may affect (positively or negatively) the value of the Funds’ investments. These currency movements may happen separately from, and in response to, events that do not otherwise affect the value of the security in the issuer’s home country.

Emerging Markets Risk. The risks of foreign investments are typically greater in less developed countries, which are sometimes referred to as emerging markets. For example, political and economic structures in these countries may be changing rapidly, which can cause instability and greater risk of loss. These countries are also more likely to experience higher levels of inflation, deflation or currency devaluation, which could hurt their economies and securities markets. For these and other reasons, investments in emerging markets are often considered speculative.


Fund of Funds Risk. An investment in a Fund is subject to all the risks of an investment directly in the underlying funds the Fund holds. A Fund’s performance will reflect the investment performance of the underlying funds it holds. Each underlying fund pays its own management fees and also pays other operating expenses. An investor in the Fund will pay both the Fund’s expenses and, indirectly, the management fees and other expense of the underlying funds that the Fund holds, although the management fee payable to NAM USA will be calculated by excluding investments in other Funds within the Corporation to avoid a layering of management fees. In addition, one underlying fund may purchase the same securities that another underlying fund sells. If the Fund invests in both underlying funds, it would indirectly bear the costs of these trades.

Please refer to the prospectus for a complete description of risks associated with the Funds.
