THE MARKET OPPORTUNITY (THE CONVERGENCE)
Two Structural Forces. One Historic Opportunity.
Japan’s capital markets are undergoing a once-in-a-generation transformation driven by regulatory mandates and demographic shifts. Stellar Ryusei captures the value created by the convergence of these two powerful trends.
Force 1: Governance Reform & The Unwinding
The FSA and Tokyo Stock Exchange require the reduction of "policy shareholdings". Over ¥30 trillion in capital is locked in non-strategic blocks by banks and corporations, which must divest within 3-5 years.
Force 2: The SME Succession Crisis
Japan faces a demographic cliff: over 7 million SME founders are aged 60+ with no identified successor. Despite being profitable and holding valuable intellectual capital, millions of these businesses risk closure.
We provide the capital and expertise to absorb these divested assets and transition family-run SMEs into professionalized, sustainable enterprises
