M&A fund
To help domestic medium-sized companies and startups to grow through M&As, we implement sourcing for investment opportunities, set up a private equity fund for each investment target, raise funds from external entities, and perform execution in line with their growth strategy.

RBO (Regional Buyout)
In this scheme, mainly on behalf of local companies that face unstable shareholder composition, fragile financial conditions, and a shrinking market due to the low birthrate/aging population, etc., we proceed with smooth delisting steps while protecting each company’s business continuity and consistency in corporate management, through sifting shareholders to local large companies, the upper management members, employees, the founder family, etc., as a final exit destination.

“RBO,” which means to ensure a buyout in the region, by the region and for the region. This scheme is proposed as JAIC’s unparalleled unique approach.

Buyout of a startup company
Through purchasing a substantial portion of the shares of each target startup company, we get involved in its corporate management and aim to help raise its enterprise value through hands-on support.
