Large Pool of Investment Capital
As of the end of March 2024, JAFCO had established over 100 investment funds with total commitments of ¥1 trillion.
There are about 1,200 investors in our funds, including financial institutions, pension funds, and business corporations. This is a testament to the trust JAFCO has built over the last 40 years in the private equity industry.
JAFCO SV7 Series (est.2022) Investor Composition
Three Management Policies
We raise capital for funds from institutional investors and business firms about once every three years, and we invest a certain amount of our own capital in the funds alongside investors. Partners and employees also invest in funds as individual investors. As Japan's pioneer in venture capital fund management, we will preserve discipline and transparency under the following three management policies.
We do not establish industry-specific funds
We do not establish investor-specific funds
We only conduct fund management
