Background
JPH was established as a natural development from DRC Capital and its predecessor, ACTIV Investment Partners. Both prior companies are regarded as having been pioneers in the Japanese private equity investment industry
- JPH Group as such has managed 5 investment funds in the past 20 years which have yielded consistently high returns (gross IRR 20-40%) by enhancing the intrinsic values of investee companies without the use of any external leverage.
- DRC Capital received the “Operational Excellence Award” in 2016 in the segment of small cap/Asia-Pacific Area from Private Equity International (PEI) for its Paydesign investment performance and operations.
- Rich and lengthy experience in business turnaround, family business restructuring and succession
- JPH was established to overcome those limits and constraints observed in conventional PE funds whose time-framework of involvement with investee companies is rather short.
Investee companies:
Nissen, Hanae Mori, Sotec, Toptour, Yumeshin Holdings, Casa, Paydesign, Universal Home, HUBees, Kojitsu-Sanso, Seiban, Chan Luu
Members
The JPH team consists of members who have extensive experience in management consulting, investment banking, trading house, manufacturing, financial administration, auditing firm, and international organizations such as the World Bank.
