Nikko Asset Management Changes Name to Amova
Imagine a big company in Japan that helps manage money for people and other companies.
It's called Nikko Asset Management, and it has been around since 1959.
Now, they're changing their name to Amova to show they're ready for big changes.
The company wants to grow and do business all over the world.
They manage a lot of money, over $260 billion!
The boss, Stefanie Drews, says they will grow by using what they already have and by making new partnerships.
This change is like the company saying, "We're not the same company from a long time ago; we're ready for the future!"
