PURPOSE

Reach new horizons with meaningful investments.

Since its establishment in Japan in 2002, New Horizon Capital has made over 100 business investments, including succession, growth support and business revitalization. We take pride in our achievement and we are dedicated to helping companies grow and revitalize, not only by means of capital, but also as business partners after the investment.

Japanese companies, regardless of size, have considerable potential. We hope to create an environment for change and growth so that their potential is not lost. We challenge ourselves to pioneer the future of society as a whole by consolidating capital and returning it to "socially meaningful" investments and jobs. Working together with our portfolio companies, we aim to create change and growth as a catalyst for industrial restructuring in Japan.

Well-working

Social Value Based

Investments that are good for society, not just good for companies. Sustainable investments that will have positive impact 10 to 100 years from now.
Investments which respect diversity and humanity. We aim to maximize the value of society as a whole without being swayed by selfish desires or interests.
Change with Challenge

Without challenge, there is no success. Without change, there is no growth.
Even if it means coming into conflict with the vested interests of society, as professionals, we will carry out meaningful challenges.
Passion will win

Meaningful investments come from unique intentions of our team members. It is the passion of the individual that becomes the driving force in our mission.
We respect the intention of each and every person on our team, and will try to improve our society, sometimes in a tenacious way.
We are always with You

We take pride and satisfaction in being "business partners" with our investees. It takes time for a company to grow and transform, and people may face difficulties and confusion at times.
We are committed to sharing the same ideals, and working and growing to create our future together.
Well-working

We aim to increase the sum total of the wealth of our investees, our own company and society as a whole. To achieve this, our own wellbeing is important.
Growing and being fulfilled through challenging work ― that is the organization we are aiming to be.

New Horizon Capital Co., Ltd. ESG Guidelines

Compliance Policy

Under our investment philosophy of "providing and circulating necessary risk capital in an appropriate manner to a wide range of companies with business foundations in Japan, thereby supporting the enhancement of corporate value and contributing to society," we place the highest priority on our fiduciary duty to investors.
As part of this, we ensure full compliance with laws and regulations.
We have established a compliance manual as a guideline for each member to follow in the execution of their duties, and the following basic policies have been defined.

Basic Policies

We fully recognize our social responsibility as an investment company.
We comply with laws and regulations, and act in accordance with social norms.
We exercise the utmost care in handling confidential information, such as business, financial, or personnel-related information of our investment targets, companies under consideration, or business partners, which we learn through our duties. This information will not be disclosed or leaked to third parties, nor used for personal gain or for the benefit of third parties.
We take a firm stance against anti-social forces, working in coordination with relevant authorities such as the police.

Since our founding in 2002*, we have never encountered any issues that would constitute a violation of laws or regulations.
Regarding the prevention of insider trading, we established internal regulations to prevent insider trading from the outset, requiring all members to report any transactions involving shares issued by publicly traded companies.
We also provide regular training to all members to ensure full awareness and compliance.
Based on these policies, we have developed and maintained a robust compliance system.
*Refers to the founding of Phoenix Capital Co., Ltd., the predecessor of the company, following a corporate split.
