Solutions that Strengthen and Nurture Companies’ Capacity to Create Value

With the emergence of a global polycrisis and the progressive decline in Japan’s working population in recent years, the social issues surrounding Japanese companies have become increasingly complex. This includes, for example, the transformation of the competitive environment brought about by digitalization. At Frontier Management, we will strive to resolve the management issues faced by our client companies by helping them restructure their business portfolios to improve profitability, assisting them to develop management talent, and supporting the creation of new growth businesses as a global independent professional firm committed to corporate value.

Under the three-year Medium-Term Management Plan (FY2024-2026) currently underway, we are focused on solutions for strengthening and nurturing the value creation capabilities of our clients’ management resources. Through our strength in providing seamless support for strategy formulation, M&A execution, and post-merger integration (PMI), we promote the restructuring of our clients’ business portfolios. In cases of business revitalization, we aim to expand our support functions by providing a complete range of hands-on support, from plan formulation to the dispatch of CxO teams.

Hands-on support for DX is one of the new focuses of our efforts to enhance our solutions. We provide our clients with hands-on support from the management reform phase to the reform of digital strategies and operational reforms. We are committed to achieving improvements in their productivity and profitability. Another new focus of our efforts is support for cross-border M&A deals. Through our employees stationed overseas and at our partner firms, we collect information on attractive M&A opportunities from around the world, mainly for mid-cap companies. We provide seamless support ranging from the execution of cross-border M&A deals to PMI.

Under our Medium-Term Management Plan, we intend to establish new funds with diverse new investment policies, in addition to stepping up the investment business through our consolidated subsidiary, Frontier Capital. By strengthening the investment business, we will boost our involvement in delivering growth for the local core companies we invest in.

We will bolster our workforce by 200 personnel over three years (on a non-consolidated basis) and build a framework to achieve quantitative expansion and productivity improvements, strengthening our organization to implement these long-term strategies. Looking ahead, we will focus on securing and developing talented human resources through our companywide human resources recruitment and development team, while pursuing a more diverse range of recruitment methods. We will also strive to create comfortable workplace environments and promote the growth and active participation of each individual employee, thus boosting organizational strength.

Through this growth strategy and organizational strengthening, we will address the increasingly complex social issues that surround Japanese companies and support our clients’ business growth. These initiatives are linked to our key sustainability themes: “establishing diversity and expertise of human resources,” “contributing to a shift in the shape of society and business,” and “strengthening corporate growth potential and resilience.” By steadily implementing our Medium-Term Management Plan, we intend to boost social sustainability and contribute to creating a prosperous future.

At Frontier Management, we will continue to strive to be a company supported with empathy by our shareholders, investors, and all our other stakeholders; a company that can participate in creating social value together with you.
