Frequently asked questions
How does Mizuho Asia Partners source investments?
The firm leverages the networks of its diverse, Singapore-based team, but its defining sourcing channel is a deliberate connection to corporate Japan. By identifying promising mid-cap companies in Southeast Asia, Mizuho Asia Partners structures partnerships that give those companies access to Japanese markets, supply chains, or partners — a two-way bridge that also generates proprietary deal flow from entrepreneurs seeking that specific expansion path.
Which regions and deal types does the firm focus on?
The firm concentrates on mid-cap companies across Southeast Asia and targets buyout, growth capital, PIPE, and turnaround deals. Its investment thesis explicitly aims to use Japanese connections to help portfolio companies expand into other parts of ASEAN — a multi-country growth strategy that goes beyond single-market plays.
How does the firm integrate ESG into its investments?
As a PRI signatory, Mizuho Asia Partners has committed to embedding ESG analysis into deal evaluation, ownership policies, and disclosure practices. The firm has also implemented a public grievance mechanism for external stakeholders to raise ESG concerns related to its funds or their portfolio companies, adding a layer of external accountability beyond standard LP reporting.
