Japanese financial services group Orix announced on Tuesday that it has partnered with the Qatar Investment Authority (QIA) to establish a $2.5 billion private equity fund focused on Japan. According to the statement, Orix will own 60% of the new fund management company, while QIA will hold the remaining 40%.
The fund will target investments in Japanese firms undergoing generational transitions, listed companies pursuing privatizations, and businesses divesting subsidiaries or divisions. Orix said the initiative reflects growing opportunities in Japan’s corporate restructuring landscape and aligns with global investors’ increasing interest in the country’s private markets.
