JAPONICA PARTNERS has one business niche which is underperforming global large caps (UGLCs) where we’ve discovered large value gaps based on specific nuggets of value.

We have consistently discovered value where leading asset managers and world class companies have walked away. We bring an entrepreneurial culture to UGLCs that are suffering from a loss of passion for innovation and performance. JAPONICA only invests our co-investor capital when we expect entrepreneurial returns with low risk.

JAPONICA historical UGLCs include our successful reorganization of Fortune 200 Allegheny International; our turnaround of Fortune 300 Sunbeam-Oster, Inc.; our inaugural investment in one of the largest transportation conglomerates in the Americas, CNW Corp.; and our restructuring proposal for Fortune 100 Borden, Inc.
