TOKYO (dpa-AFX) - Orix Corporation (IX, 8591.T), a Japanese financial service provider, and Qatar Investment Authority, or QIA, announced on Tuesday that they have inked a deal to launch a private equity fund of $2.5 billion.
Makoto Inoue, CEO of Orix, said: 'This partnership is the next logical step on the path to improving the corporate value of companies with high-growth potential. Increasing the portion of third-party funds in ORIX's investment portfolio will enhance capital efficiency and help further grow our asset management business. This partnership is a key strategic move to help realize our long-term growth strategy.'
The proposed fund, OQCI Fund LP, will invest in Japanese companies, primarily targeting business succession, privatization of listed companies, and carve-outs with an investment size of at least $200 million per investment.
