“Liquidity, Liquidity, Liquidity”. During a breakfast meeting in New York, these were the words said by my boss, who was responsible for our firm’s financing, in response to my question about our top priorities when working at a US investment bank.

Those days, it hadn’t been so long since financial markets, including the New York Stock Exchange, had shut down for several days as a result of September 11.
I remember that his response reaffirmed the importance of funding and liquidity management to run businesses sustainably. Then, several years later, the Lehman Shock seized the world economy and liquidity became crucial on a worldwide basis just as my boss had said.

Under the current COVID-19 situation, the importance of funding and liquidity management has once again been recognized as one of the key factors to maximize enterprise value by controlling risk and return in running businesses.

Strategic funding and liquidity management enables companies to deal with sustainable growth, respond to the rapid change of business environments, to provide sufficient services to the substantial change of clients’ needs, and to invest in new business opportunities quickly.

In order to realize clients’ thoughts, desires and vision for their businesses, we would like to be the strategic partner for clients with a strong sense of ownership on the basis of finance.

Based upon our understanding of their businesses, we help our clients maximize their revenues and profits, proposing to eliminate the risks which can be eliminated, and to take the risks which should be taken and can be managed.

Through our knowledge of the business ecosystem in financial markets, utilizing interactive and seamless communication and accountability, we help clients acquire assistance to support the growth of businesses from each stakeholder, including participants in both domestic and international financial markets.

In addition, keeping the essence of what we have experienced and learned, multi-thousand yen products and services accumulate to generate tens of billions of yen in sales. We always maintain a high level of ethics and integrity, and our continued success depends upon unswerving adherence to this standard.

In the present uncertain environment where the paradigm shift has been accelerated, imagination and insight are required to look ahead while we continue on in a world in which definite answers don’t exist. Unless Japanese society and companies upgrade their “OS” on matters such as awareness, evaluation of people and organizational structure, they won’t survive even if new “Applications” are installed. We believe they must continue to upgrade and evolve their “OS” more frequently. Their failure to do so will continue to cause damage in the future.

COVID-19 is the new “Black Ship” striking Japan as outside pressure. Now is a big chance for Japan to sprint ahead towards both corporate and social reforms to catch up with other countries taking the lead. While the flow of people and goods across the border is declining significantly, online borderless-ness is progressing further and globalization is accelerating.

We support companies and management who thrive to develop businesses in global markets, primarily in the field of finance. We are and will be the partner to back them on their journey.
