What we do
Our work begins with the question a client is actually trying to answer. Four questions account for most of what we do.
01
“We want a strategic Japanese partner.”
We identify where Australian and Japanese companies can create greater long-term value together and help shape the strategic logic, positioning and relationship required to make that possible.
Potential outcomes include corporate partnerships, joint ventures, strategic equity, operating partnerships and long-term platform relationships.
02
“We need Japanese capital.”
We work with Australian companies seeking long-term Japanese capital and with Japanese corporates, investors and financial institutions seeking strategically relevant opportunities in Australia, including strategic equity, project investment, joint ventures, structured capital and long-term institutional relationships.
The emphasis is not simply finding capital. It is identifying investors whose objectives, investment horizon and strategic capability align with the Australian opportunity.
03
“We are considering a transaction.”
We originate and position Australian private-company opportunities for Japanese strategic acquirers and work with Japanese organisations seeking acquisitions, investments and new business platforms in Australia.
Strategic Origination
We identify Australian opportunities against clearly defined Japanese strategic priorities, and Japanese counterparties against clearly defined Australian ambitions.
04
“We want to build in the other market.”
We help Australian companies understand how their business, management and ambitions need to be positioned for Japan, and Japanese companies understand the commercial environment, opportunities and relationships required to establish or expand in Australia.
Strategy, counterparties and execution. Not market-entry reports.
For Australian companies considering Japan, Japanese organisations considering Australia, and advisers seeking a trusted cross-border partner, the first step is understanding what a successful relationship could become.
