In Harmony

With every stakeholder

We deliver results as a long-term partner. Respect and mutual understanding are a vital part of our investment philosophy.

While the pursuit of profit is essential, we think that the process should not entirely favor one particular side, and everyone involved should remain in "harmony" inside a successful project.

We believe that this approach has earned us trust from many parties.

Our Story

To a prosperous, more sustainable world

We are proud of the great partnerships we have cultivated with our clients throughout the years. We have always valued to be in harmony with our clients, investee companies, and other stakeholders and believe that the relationships were possible because we followed our ideals.

We have also been engaging in environmental investment since 2005 when we first participated in the emissions trading. Our business has contributed to the development of a more sustainable society since.

History

Looking back the 20+ years

In 1998, we swiftly began to invest in debt as we saw the Japanese financial institutions promote off-balance sheet assets and liabilities to solve the problem of non-performing loans.

We have since expanded our investment targets and businesses, and now our portfolio includes real estate and both domestic and international private equity.

Funds

11 restructuring funds, 100+ investee companies

We have created and operated funds of various types and purposes to support businesses and the development of local communities. These experiences allowed us to gain expertise in fund operation and create a nationwide network of companies and financial institutions.

"Daiwa Challenge Fund", a fund of flexible investment amount and span that aims to support restructuring/closure of business, is currently under operation.
