Tokyo-based asset manager HiJoJo Partners and JAMP Fund Management have launched the HiJoJo Global Unicorn Investment Corporation (HiJoJo PEIT), following a private placement aimed at qualified institutional investors.

The Private Equity Investment Trust (PEIT), structured as an investment corporation, has initiated operations with total paid-in capital of approximately ¥10 billion. It represents Japan's first vehicle of its kind dedicated primarily to investing in unlisted equities, including global unicorn companies.

Under the operational agreement, JAMP Fund Management—a subsidiary of Japan Asset Management Platform Group—serves as the primary asset manager and administrative service provider. Investment decision-making and target selection have been delegated to HiJoJo Partners, leveraging its international deal-sourcing pipeline.

HiJoJo Partners, co-headed by Spiridon Menzas and Norifumi Akiyama, specializes in structuring and managing funds focused on middle- to late-stage unlisted companies. To support its deal-sourcing framework in late-stage private markets, the firm established a U.S. presence in 2026 and entered into a capital and business alliance with Nasdaq Private Market.
