Shinsei Corporate Investment

What is Shinsei Corporate Investment?

SBI Shinsei Corporate Investment Limited (SCI) is an investment firm that specializes in venture capital (VC) and buyout investments. Positioned distinctively among Japanese bank groups, they offer strategic financial support to foster the creation and development of businesses with client companies.

Their investment philosophy is underscored by their experienced team, whose core members each boast over a decade of private equity (PE) investment experience, setting them apart in an industry where personnel rotations are common.

SCI's investment decisions are prudent and selective, grounded on disciplined due diligence. They have a notable track record since 2004, with over 2000 companies assessed for due diligence, 67 investments made, 20 companies taken to IPO and an additional 7 anticipated to IPO within the following 12 months, marking an IPO/Invested ratio of 40%.

Their achievements reflect the meticulous efforts of the team to make judicious investments. Apart from their domestic ventures, SCI actively seeks investment opportunities abroad with two co-General Partner (co-GP) funds.

These international funds focus on specific sectors, with one targeting mobile entertainment businesses and another homing in on regenerative medicine companies. By leveraging their expertise and networks both within and outside of the SBI Group, they position themselves as a unique investment company. SCI upholds a global perspective, engaging proactively in overseas investments to diversify their portfolio and tap into growth sectors across borders.
