EVOLUTION JAPAN

Evolution Financial Group is an integrated suite of financial businesses, including trade, investment banking, and debt repayment. Our diversified capital market expertise includes: debt and equity financing, debt repayment, private equity and venture capital, securities research and brokerage. Although we have a variety of business lines, each has been integrated together to achieve our overall mission.

In our business area, Evolution is usually both a financial sponsor and a general partner. We have found that this aligns our interests highly with those of our clients, branches, and co investors.

Evolution was founded by Michael Lerch in 2002 as an alternative investment manager. The company is built on the foundation of flexibility and scalability, allowing us to continuously adapt to changing market conditions through new investment businesses, strategies, and products.

At Evolution, we believe that a strong partnership is the long-term key to our success. We invest in the hands of the trading partners, and then they invest in the hands of the trading partners, so we have identified unique new opportunities and advised each other to achieve the best common outcome. This promotes dynamic interaction between Evolution and its counterparties. Technology, infrastructure, and employee expertise enable Evolution to participate in transactions involving some of the world's largest and most prestigious companies, banks, and investment firms.

The global leadership of Evolution is composed of experienced professionals from many leading banks and trading companies around the world. We believe that the depth and breadth of our intellectual capital, as well as the rich experience of our professional team, have always been the main driving force for the group's ability to generate positive returns and establish strong and lasting business relationships with partners.

Our international business, especially in Japan, includes boutique investment banking and brokerage services that provide exclusive credit and equity based transaction flows for the entire region. Through sponsorship activities and social impact programs, Evolution also plays an active role in Japan's commercial and cultural communities.
