About Gifford Roth

Rooted in Tokyo, Japan - Serving Clients Worldwide

Tokyo stands as one of the world’s most dynamic business and financial centers – a global city where heritage and innovation coexist, and where detail, discretion, and discipline are deeply woven into the cultural fabric. Gifford Roth is proud to call Tokyo home.

Our presence here is not simply geographic; it reflects the philosophy that underpins how we work. We are inspired by Japanese values such as precision, humility, and long-term thinking -values that align seamlessly with the needs of discerning investors and families navigating complex financial lives. From Tokyo, we serve a truly global clientele, bringing local insight and international expertise to every relationship.

Global Perspective. Personal Commitment. Lasting Results.

Gifford Roth is a privately held investment and advisory firm built to serve individuals, families, business owners, and institutions with global interests. We specialize in guiding internationally mobile clients – including expatriates, cross-border families, and offshore investors – through the challenges and opportunities of modern wealth management.


Our advisory model is centered on trust, discretion, and personal connection. We do not sell products. We provide thoughtful, independent guidance backed by high-level research and access to a broad universe of investments.

 

Clients rely on us for expertise in portfolio management, retirement and estate planning, alternative investments, and long-term wealth preservation. Whether navigating multiple currencies, jurisdictions, or generations, our solutions are tailored, transparent, and adaptive.

Our Mission

To deliver thoughtful, personalized investment guidance that protects and grows wealth across generations, with clarity, independence, and global expertise.

At Gifford Roth, our mission is more than a statement – it is the lens through which we make every decision. We aim to empower clients with clear, actionable advice that supports both their current financial well-being and their future legacy. This means managing risk with care, identifying opportunities with discipline, and always acting with integrity.


We serve clients not just as financial professionals, but as long-term partners. Whether you are preserving generational wealth, building a cross-border investment portfolio, or planning for retirement across jurisdictions, our goal is to simplify complexity and provide lasting peace of mind.

Our Values

Independence

We are privately owned and fully independent. Our recommendations are driven only by your best interests - not product sales, commissions, or institutional pressures.

Integrity

Trust is earned, not assumed. We uphold the highest standards of confidentiality, ethics, and professionalism in all client interactions.

Expertise

Our team draws from deep experience across asset classes, markets, and jurisdictions. We apply institutional-level research to individual portfolios with care and relevance.

Long-Term Thinking

We believe wealth should be built and preserved with patience. Our advice is designed to protect and grow capital over time, not chase short-term gains.

Global Outlook

With headquarters in Tokyo and clients across Europe, Asia, and the Americas, we understand the complexities of international wealth, and we’re equipped to address them.

Access

Through our global networks, we offer clients opportunities typically reserved for institutions or insiders, including private placements, private equity, and pre-IPO allocations.

Service

Our approach is deliberately personal. Clients are never routed through layers of bureaucracy or generic service models. You’ll work with professionals who know you and who are committed to your success.

At Gifford Roth, wealth is more than numbers. It’s freedom, clarity, and legacy. Our role is to preserve what you’ve built and position it to thrive across generations and borders.

We invite you to get in touch and explore how we can be of service.
