Our Mission

Connecting every part of the industry

PEA exists to connect all of the internal components of the private equity and venture capital industry – investors, fund managers, entrepreneurs and companies, advisers and service providers – to each other, and to represent their interests to government, parliamentarians, officials and regulators, the media, other sections of the business community and society at large.

We seek to improve the efficiency of the sector, individually and collectively, by widening access to it and awareness of it, to assist personal and professional development through training programmes and to produce research publications of value recognised both within the industry and beyond it.

A Message From PEA

Building momentum for Asia’s private equity industry

While the Asian economy has been experiencing a sustained, gradual recovery, there are still many Asian companies which content themselves with low growth and profitability amid a backdrop of population decline, aging society, rising social security costs and other social challenges. The current government administration has implemented various initiatives in working towards overcoming such social challenges as well as raising Corporate Japan’s overall competitiveness and profitability. These include initiatives to strengthen corporate governance, stimulate the equity markets, and supply risk capital through pension funds and other institutions. Such efforts have had the collective impact of creating the momentum for a positive economic cycle.

The private equity industry has seen these positive changes through a recent resurgence in activity – in both succession deals of mid-to-small-sized family-owned enterprises as well as in spinoffs of noncore businesses by large corporations. Nonetheless, the private equity industry in Asia remains significantly behind its western counterparts in scale and recognition, suggesting that it is still in a developmental stage.

We believe that the private equity firms which constitute the PEA are better than ever positioned to support value creation in their portfolio companies, providing necessary growth capital, management resources, and governance – and thereby can help to expand and raise awareness for the Asian private equity industry. Moreover, through achieving enterprise value creation, these private equity firms can not only provide attractive investment returns to domestic investors but also attract foreign risk money, serving a central role within the economic cycle.

We appreciate your guidance and support so that we may continue to contribute to the development of the private equity industry in Asia.
