株式会社クロスメディア・パブリッシング announced that it published the book PE Fund Business on 24 September 2026. The author is Yamamoto Keisuke (山本恵亮), Director of Antelope Career Consulting株式会社. The book explains the structure of PE funds, the reality of corporate transformation, and career paths for people working in the field.
The article describes how PE funds have become part of the industrial infrastructure by revitalising stagnant companies and supporting growth, as Japanese companies face challenges including the absence of successors and the need to improve capital efficiency. Drawing on his experience since the early days of the PE fund industry, Yamamoto also examines the world of PE as a way of thinking about decision-making, incorporating examples from the field and first-hand accounts.
The book comprises 9 chapters. Chapters 1 and 2 explain the nature of PE funds and their value-creation mechanisms. Chapter 3 covers the investment decision-making process, while Chapters 4 to 6 depict the reality of corporate transformation through specific transactions involving business succession, carve-outs, and restructuring and growth investment.
