We at MCP Capital started our private equity business in 2000 as Mizuho Capital Partners, and over the past 20 years we have continued to manage funds based on the principles of fulfilling our responsibilities to investors by realizing the growth of japanese companies.
Today, the capital issues surrounding japanese companies, such as succession and divestment of corporate groups, are widely recognized and still on the rise, and MCP Capital hopes to play a role in solving these growing social issues. But we wonder—is that enough? As the market is getting matures, is not growth the more essential issue for japanese companies? We help companies accelerate growth that is sustainable, not temporary, as well as providing support for capital issues. Our philosophy and actions for growth results in stable fund performance. We manage funds with this in mind.
MCP Capital supports companies for sustainable growth. With a view to long-term growth, we take the time to provide support for acquisitions and capital alliances to expand business foundations and domains, including subsequent post-merger integration. If an IPO (listing on a stock exchange) is the best option for sustainable development, we actively support the listing. These are all the results of our ideals manifesting in action, and are achievements accumulated over our history of more than 20 years.
MCP Capital has been, and will continue to be, a partner to both investors and japanese companies.
