Key Challenges We Address

Securing capital amid a more selective fundraising market

The ECB deposit rate fell from 4.0% in June 2024 to 2.0% by June 2025, yet LPs remain selective, extending fundraising timelines and scrutinising differentiation.
Against this backdrop, YCP sharpens fund positioning, maps priority LPs and strengthens fundraising narratives with market evidence, portfolio insights and clear return logic.

Creating exits when valuation expectations remain misaligned

France’s economy expanded by 1.1% in 2024, while buyers remain cautious on growth assumptions. Gaps between seller expectations and bid valuations continue to delay exits.
YCP helps sponsors prepare assets for sale, test buyer appetite and build credible equity stories, supporting valuation alignment and more competitive transaction processes.

Building portfolio resilience in a slower-growth environment

With modest economic growth and persistent input-cost pressure, portfolio companies must protect margins while funding transformation, talent retention and commercial expansion.
YCP translates investment theses into practical value-creation plans, identifying profit levers, prioritising initiatives and supporting management teams through execution.

Managing tighter ESG, tax and reporting requirements

First-wave CSRD reporting began in 2025 for FY2024, while France’s 0.4% financial transaction tax applies to qualifying listed companies above €1 billion in market value.
YCP integrates ESG, regulatory and tax considerations into due diligence and portfolio roadmaps, helping investors improve compliance, data quality and investment readiness.

Strategic Growth through Programmatic M&A of Small to Medium-Sized Companies in Southeast Asia

In Southeast Asia’s complex markets, programmatic M&A offers a flexible alternative to slow organic expansion and high-risk large deals. By pursuing smaller, repeat acquisitions, companies can enter markets faster, build local capabilities, and manage risk, provided strong sourcing, diligence, and integration discipline are in place.

The Right Way to Diversify for Business Leaders: Unlocking the Conglomerate Premium

Japanese firms are rethinking “selection and concentration” as a growth strategy, as overfocus has limited innovation and long-term competitiveness. Disciplined diversification, anchored by strong cores and active portfolio management, can enhance resilience and unlock value through evolved conglomerate models.
