ABOUT US
About Cogent Investment Limited (CIL) (Japan)
Headquartered in Tokyo, Cogent Investment was founded by Mr. Tony Ong, to leverage investment opportunities across established as well as emerging sectors in Japan.
Tapping on the vast established network and resources of Cogent Financial Group (CFG), a sister company based out of Hong Kong, Cogent Investment Ltd (CIL) (Japan) source and identify investment opportunities for CFG and its JV partners in Japan and beyond. To date, it has identified and invested in residential and commercial real estate, hospitality, and construction. Other sectors under continuous consideration includes but not limited to high technological sector, engineering, machinery and pharmaceutical industry.
Our private investment policy is similar to that of the traditional private equity investment model except that we make proprietary investments using our own funds and do not solicit or deploy funds for third party investors.
The CIL is not limited to the typical leveraged buyout model and has grown its business portfolio from the ground up. We actively participate in strategic management of the businesses we invest in, usually taking a majority stake in our portfolio companies. CIL is not restricted by fixed investment horizons.
As a private investment firm, we actively seek out investments in businesses with strong management teams and promising business models but which are unable to reach their potential due to under-capitalization. We work with the management to enhance their business performance by providing strategic direction, aligning incentives, improving business plans, creating operational efficiencies and strengthening corporate governance.
Through a combination of strategic change, high touch management intervention and sustained investment, we seek to bring about transformation in the businesses in which we invest and enhance overall value for all stakeholders.
OUR APPROACH
LATERAL THINKING
We inspire innovative thinking. Our teams are continuously encouraged to challenge conventional wisdom and apply lateral thinking to find better ways to do business – often to change the paradigm. We actively promote an environment that breeds an entrepreneurial spirit and empowers decision making.
TRANSPARENCY
We encourage open communication and debate that are anchored on logic, research and studied opinion, fostering an environment of transparency in all our investment and operating processes. This, we believe, enhances the quality of our decision-making and the effectiveness of our teams. It also helps our stakeholders – employees, investee companies, governments and trade bodies, in understanding our business objectives, and how our efforts contribute to the wider community.
OUR TEAMWORK
Our abilities are augmented by our team of professionals, each possessing broad international exposure and in-depth sector experience supported by local knowledge. Our teams display a strong collaborative culture where inclusive, consensus based decision making is allowed to flourish.
We believe in flat organizational structures and operate in a non-hierarchical environment.
We are a merit driven firm and an equal opportunities employer. Our human resource policies aim to provide a work-life balance through commitment to family, community service and other outside interests.
