Announcement Regarding the Establishment of HiJoJo Global Unicorn Investment Corporation

HiJoJo Partners and JAMP Fund Management, a subsidiary of Japan Asset Management Platform Group, have established the 'HiJoJo Global Unicorn Investment Corporation' (HiJoJo PEIT) on June 1, 2026, utilizing JAMP's PEIT white-label service. HiJoJo PEIT aims to support the growth of startups and contribute to the development of the asset management market by providing investment opportunities in domestic and international unlisted stocks, including global unicorn companies. With the rise of AI, startups with innovative technologies are gaining attention. The Japanese government's 'Five-Year Startup Development Plan' aims to increase investment in startups to 10 trillion yen by fiscal 2027. HiJoJo and JAMP view this as a significant opportunity, establishing HiJoJo PEIT as Japan's first investment corporation capable of investing in global unicorns, with the goal of listing on the Tokyo Stock Exchange's venture fund market in the future. HiJoJo PEIT leverages three strengths: the appeal of global unicorn investment, the advantages of the investment corporation scheme, and HiJoJo Partners' proven track record. JAMP will handle asset management, while HiJoJo will manage the investments. Operations will begin via private placement, with a future listing planned, though the timing remains undecided.
