Loyal Hands-on Approach

Our Group invests in medium-sized Japanese companies and medium-sized foreign companies whose primary market is Japan. There are many medium-sized companies in Japan with potential that possess excellent human resources, products/technologies, business models and brands, but they are unfortunately lacking in experience with things like fine-tuned marketing strategies, logical business management and the ability to expand procurement, manufacturing and sales overseas, so in many cases they are not fully realizing their potential.

The members of our Group are not just financial experts. More than half have served as president of a company in which we invest or another company. Their know-how from running many different companies has provided the basis for our success in improving the corporate value of medium-sized companies. Multiple investment managers from our Group are personally involved in providing management support to each of the companies in which we invest and are deeply committed to them. In the industry, our hands-on approach is referred to as a “Loyal hands-on approach.”
