This article is for subscribers only.
Jun Tsusaka, TPG Capital’s former Japan head, started his own alternative-investment firm this month to target small companies with the potential to help revitalize the world’s third-largest economy.
Tsusaka’s Nippon Sangyo Suishin Kiko Ltd. will seek to raise tens of billions of yen next year for its first fund, which will buy stakes in smaller private and listed Japanese firms, he said in a Dec. 17 interview in Tokyo. Other founders include Akio Ishida, previously vice chairman of TPG Capital Japan, and Kenju Watanabe, a former mergers and acquisitions lawyer at Skadden Arps Slate Meagher & Flom LLP.
