First Closing of Unison Capital Partners V, LPS

We are pleased to announce the establishment of Unison Capital Partners V, LPS (“the Fund”).
We are targeting 80 billion yen of funding at final closing.

The Fund made its first investment in Kumagaya General Hospital in collaboration with Hokuto Social Medical Corporation on September 30, 2020 (collectively, the “Transaction”). The Transaction has been the third investment from Unison Capital, Inc. (“Unison”). Unison will continue to aim in creating a new community care model by supporting healthcare providers cooperate to build a system through which to provide medical and long-term care optimized to the needs of the local community.

The Fund will seek to fully leverage the expertise Unison has accumulated over the last two decades. Unison will continuously concentrate on investments in sector groups synonymous with the most consistently replicable investment theses and investments in which structural inefficiencies and secular trends specific to Japan present unique growth and value creation opportunities through optimal resource and capital allocation, alongside implementing ESG practices. Specifically, the Fund will focus on healthcare, consumer and B2B service-related sectors, which are the industry groups in which Unison’s accumulated expertise has proven to be most applicable.
