Ankara, Turkey, 04 December 2015 -- Deger Wealth Management, founded by Dr.<br />
Erkin Olmez, under Warren Buffett's teachings of value investing made a handsome<br />
return on its investment in the tsunami struck <strong>Tokyo</strong> <strong>Electric</strong> <strong>Power</strong> <strong>Company</strong><br />
(<strong>TEPCO</strong>) (TYO:9501) stock. After the 2011 tsunami disaster in the Pacific Ocean,<br />
<strong>TEPCO</strong> had to close the Fukishima nuclear reactor; and became the target for antinuclear<br />
protests in Japan and worldwide. <strong>The</strong> events after the tsunami disaster had<br />
caused the stock price of <strong>TEPCO</strong>; which fell to 4000 yens after the first earthquake in<br />
2007, and then 2000 yens after the 2011 tsunami; to hit new lows as deep as <strong>10</strong>0 yens<br />
in 2012.<br />
During previous months, <strong>TEPCO</strong>, mostly due to the improvement in its financials, has<br />
been critically included in Japan's JPX-Nikkei 400 index despite several protests.<br />
<strong>TEPCO</strong>'s stock price had fallen to unprecedented lows of around <strong>10</strong>0 yens back in<br />
July 2012. After the stocks reinclusion to JPX-Nikkei 400; the electricity producer<br />
which Deger Asset Management has been tracking since the disaster in 2011 increased<br />
its crisis lows prices by almost <strong>10</strong> times to close to <strong>10</strong>00 yens by August 2015. That<br />
made the <strong>TEPCO</strong> stock a <strong>10</strong> bagger in a matter of 2 years.<br />
Dr. Olmez of Deger Asset Management stated: "<strong>TEPCO</strong> was an important opportunity<br />
for value investors. "<strong>The</strong> company which has solid financials and a long history, was<br />
sold heavily due to investor panic after the tsunami disaster. Those who benefitted<br />
from this situation scored almost <strong>10</strong>00% on their investments in a matter of 2 years."<br />
Approximately 70% of <strong>TEPCO</strong>'s assets are made up of non-nuclear assets. <strong>The</strong><br />
company is the world's 4th, and Japan's largest electricity generation company.<br />
