Goldman Sachs plans to increase its acquisitions and investments in medium-sized Japanese companies.

Goldman Sachs Group plans to add about 800 billion yen in acquisitions and investments in the thriving Japanese mergers and acquisitions market over the next ten years, with a focus on medium-sized enterprises. Yu Itoki, managing director of the growth equity and private equity team at Goldman's Japanese subsidiary, said the bank's target clients are medium-sized companies valued between 30 billion yen and 300 billion yen, which often lack the funding and talent resources needed to expand overseas markets or engage in mergers and acquisitions.
