Fund Management
After graduating from the School of Economics at the University of Osaka, he worked in retail sales and investment banking at a securities company. He joined JAFCO in June 2022. He is mainly in charge of fund solicitation and investor relations (IR) for investors in the Fund Management Division. In addition to being involved in the joint development of publicly offered investment trusts incorporating unlisted stocks, he has also engaged in fund management business such as fair value evaluation.
I joined JAFCO because I was attracted by entrepreneurs and businesspeople who take on challenges with determination, and the people who support them. Our role is to contribute to the growth of companies in their start-up and second start-up phases by providing them with risk money raised from a wide range of investors. I would like to be deeply involved in the creation of this virtuous cycle that will lead to the revitalization of the economy and society. I will make every effort to meet expectations and diverse needs of our investors and become a partner that realizes the sustainable growth of portfolio companies together.
