PE/VC investors

Private Equity (PE) and Venture Capital (VC) investors are the catalysts of innovation and growth in the business world. PE firms primarily target established companies, seeking to optimize operations and unlock value through strategic investments and management expertise. They focus on long-term growth and profitability, often preparing businesses for a future sale or IPO. VC investors, by contrast, are the adventurers of finance, injecting capital into high-potential startups and early-stage companies. They embrace risk for the possibility of outsized returns, often becoming invaluable advisors. Both investor types not only bring capital but also strategic guidance, industry connections, and market insights, propelling their portfolio companies towards success.

As one of the most established VC firms in Japan for more than 40 years, JAFCO Tokyo has developed a wide range of deep business relationships with its prominent fund investors (LPs) comprising over 1,000 major Japanese brands looking for new business opportunities and partnerships in and outside Japan and also other parts of Asia. Based in Tokyo, the Asia Group of the Business Development Division supports investees very actively. Its members connect and mobilize LPs as well as utilize JAFCO’s reputable and resourceful network among industry leaders to achieve its mission to be an indispensable bridge for the portfolio companies to accelerate their growth, creating value and hence maximizing return for the funds. One of the masterpieces was the licensing of major Japanese animations to the largest video portal in China now known as Youku Tudou. The BD team was instrumental in Tudou obtaining exclusive rights from the intellectual property (IP) owners, thereby increasing the value of the company significantly. This arrangement has also subsequently become a practical standard for the industry acquiring IPs from Japan thereafter.

Janus Henderson Investors Janus Henderson Investors
Our active management offers clients the opportunity to outperform passive portfolios over the course of market cycles. We aim to do this by taking on appropriate levels of risk and offering products and strategies at reasonable fees. The outlook for markets in the foreseeable future suggests returns are likely to be lower on a relative basis and more volatile than they have been in the past decade. In this environment, the value of active management could be crucial. We are also in a time of accelerating change that is reshaping the way people live their lives. This can be unsettling and make it harder to achieve financial goals.
