HiJoJo Partners Inc. (HJJ) is thrilled to announce that the company is the first Japanese and Asian headquartered financial institution to join the Nasdaq Private Market (NPM) consortium of investors. NPM is a leading provider of secondary liquidity solutions to private companies, employees, and investors worldwide. Moving forward, HJJ will forge a business alliance with NPM and drive the expansion of its private market client solutions to support Japan's burgeoning private equity sector.
As Japan continues to promote its vision for “new capitalism,” which includes establishing an efficient trading environment for private stocks, investing in private assets, and promoting liquidity, HJJ sees a significant business opportunity with NPM as a key strategic partner. Since its inception, HJJ has aimed to create a market that provides liquidity for private equities. This investment will help accelerate HJJ's mission to transform from an asset management company to a financial technology company that operates a global private equity platform. By partnering with NPM, HJJ aims to support fund formation to liquidity execution and settlement, proactively establishing cooperative relationships both domestically and internationally.
“We are excited to welcome HiJoJo Partners as a key strategic investor and our first based out of Japan. Together, we believe that we can create a more efficient and accessible private market for startups, other disruptive private companies, institutional investors, and shareholders in Japan and across Asia Pacific. As a highly esteemed, industry-leading asset management firm in the region, HJJ is the ideal partner to join our elite class of investors.”
"We are honored and delighted to become an investor in Nasdaq Private Market and expand our business in Japan together. Leveraging NPM's track record and experience, we look forward to delivering attractive private asset investment products to Japanese investors. We also aim to support the creation of a platform for private stock trading, fostering collaboration between Japanese and U.S. startups, multinational companies, shareholders, and investors contributing to the rejuvenation of the Japanese innovation economy and enhancing industrial competitiveness."
Nasdaq Private Market provides liquidity solutions for private companies, employees, and investors throughout each stage of the pre-IPO lifecycle. In 2013, the company was founded within Nasdaq. Today it is an independent company with strategic investments from Nasdaq, Allen & Company, BNP Paribas, Citi, DRW Venture Capital, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, UBS, and Wells Fargo.
