[Understand Japan’s PE industry at a glance] Domestic private equity fund industry chaos map (2024 edition)
Paying attention to the rise of search funds
……
We have announced the chaos map (2024 edition) of domestic PE funds. The private equity (hereinafter referred to as “PE”) market continues to expand. In recent years, PE funds have been increasingly used to support listed companies going private, to sell non-core businesses by major companies, and to serve as business succession destinations for mid-sized and small-to-medium-sized companies that are struggling with a lack of successors.
Kujira Capital Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo,
Representative Director: Shinji Takeuchi) has created the 2024 edition of the Chaos Map, which summarizes the major players in the domestic PE fund industry and their fund sizes.
A feature of this fiscal year is the full-scale rise of so-called “Japanese search funds.” Search funds started operating in Japan in 2018, and in recent years, large companies have joined ventures and startups have entered the search fund one after another, as it can provide a solution to the succession problem of small and medium-sized enterprises. In this Chaos Map, search funds, which are gaining recognition as a new business model, are classified as an independent category.
