The ICT Team has accumulated industry knowledge by specializing its investments by industry. By making full use of its special expertise and the global insight provided by its network through out every country in Asia, the Group provides the best results to all stakeholders.
The ICT Team isn't simply conversant with investment schemes and finance. Through its investment projects, it has compiled a deep knowledge of the ICT industry, including content applications in Japan and overseas. Based on daily industry updates and an ongoing dialogue with Asian Capital Alliance members, the team is ideally positioned to propose effective strategies, based on global industry trends, to its investees.
As ICT industry specialists, the ACA ICT Team has built up a vast network within the domestic ICT industry, including content applications, through investments into the sector targeted in specific industries. The team is able to provide strong support for portfolio companies by taking advantage of this network.
As a member of the Asian Capital Alliance, the ACA Group has established a network with leading companies that boast a presence not only in Japan, but in fast-growing Asian countries as well. Through this network, we not only support Japanese companies in promoting the outstanding intellectual property and technologies they have developed overseas, but we also support those companies in making business strategies for their overseas expansion, including making strategic alliances with companies in other countries.
As one of the few entities dedicated to media content and the ICT industry, the team acts on its own to uncover potential investment opportunities, based on the networks it has established with investees and companies from both within and outside the industry. By securing a wide range of resources, it discovers first-rate, competition-free investment opportunities before others do.
Backed by personnel from diverse professional backgrounds, including financial institutions, consulting companies, and business companies, the team performs rigorous due diligence from multiple perspectives, identifying industry-specific business risks often overlooked by ordinary funds and financial risks not readily identified by other companies.
The ICT team aims to maximize corporate value–the common goal of investors and investees. Instead of only relying on short-term profit improvements depending on cost-cutting and restructuring and so on, the team aims to achieve medium- and long-term business growth through real sales increase.
In addition to providing funds for investee companies, the team also provides support to company management and helps to improve corporate value by providing advice for strategic planning and business decisions.
