SCCM's First Close Announcement

On October 1, 2025, SynClover Capital Management (SCCM) successfully completed the first close of its Fund Number 1, marking a significant milestone in the firm's investment journey. Established in 2017, SCCM has been focused on leveraging its nearly 20 years of experience in managing buyout funds within major financial groups for supporting small and medium enterprises facing succession challenges.

The establishment of Fund Number 1 received substantial support from various regional financial institutions, securities companies, and business corporations. SCCM envisions expanding the fund size to 15 billion yen by inviting further participation from diverse stakeholders across multiple sectors. This strategic approach exemplifies SCCM's commitment to fostering economic growth in regional markets.

Since its founding, SCCM has actively engaged in hands-on support, aiding in the enhancement of corporate value through a full-residential model. The investment strategy has so far led to successful investments in three companies, where SCCM's partners took on long-term management roles. This meticulous attention not only optimized corporate value but also ensured that transition processes were beneficial for both the companies and SCCM's investors, ultimately creating attractive returns.

As SCCM moves forward with Fund Number 1, it maintains its commitment to a full-hands-on approach. The firm is set to deeply engage with portfolio companies, navigating governance enhancements and compliance improvement while focusing on value addition that transcends mere financial metrics. SCCM aims to ensure that the potential for growth and improvement resonates through a robust partnership with regional financial institutions, thereby catalyzing job creation and expanding local business transactions.

By integrating experiential knowledge from past engagements, SCCM is poised to replicate its success under Fund Number 1. The emphasis will be on providing tailored support to investees, enabling them to thrive in competitive markets, and fostering an environment conducive to business innovation and stability.
