Frequently asked questions
Who makes investment decisions at Karita & Company?
Shigeru Myojin, the founder, serves as Chairman and CEO and remains the central figure in investment decisions. As a founder-led firm since 1982, the investment process is principal-driven. The team size is not publicly disclosed, but the structure implies Myojin retains final authority on major commitments.
Does Karita & Company focus exclusively on Japan?
The firm's known portfolio is concentrated in Japan, spanning Tokyo and other major cities. Its real estate, private credit, and private equity activities are all domestic. There is no public evidence of an ex-Japan allocation, though its institutional client base is not fully mapped.
What is Karita & Company's investment strategy?
Karita operates across three asset classes: direct real estate, private credit via mezzanine and bridge lending to Japanese SMEs, and private equity co-investments in middle-market companies. Its real estate strategy covers office, retail, logistics, and residential sectors. The credit strategy targets a lending gap left by Japan's major banks.
Is Karita & Company a family office?
Publicly available information does not confirm Karita & Company as a single-family office. It is structured as an independent asset manager serving institutional and high-net-worth clients. The capital it deploys is not traced to a single-family wealth origin in disclosure.
Does Karita & Company manage funds for external investors?
Yes, Karita & Company manages capital for institutional and high-net-worth external investors. Its actual AUM is not publicly disclosed. The firm's fund structures — whether discretionary separate accounts or commingled vehicles — are not detailed in public sources.
