Japan Investment Adviser Co Ltd <7172> shares rose on Monday after announcing a capital and business alliance with Sojitz Corp <2768> following Friday's close. Japan Investment Adviser expects to raise approximately 3.4 billion yen in net proceeds, which will fund loans to its subsidiary JP Lease Products & Services (JLPS). JLPS will use the capital to acquire silent partnership investment interests for structuring operating lease products, thereby increasing structuring and sales opportunities and drawing buying interest.

As part of the alliance, major shareholder and President Naoto Shiraiwa will sell a portion of his shares to Sojitz, and Japan Investment Adviser will issue new shares to Sojitz through a third-party allotment. Sojitz's voting stake in Japan Investment Adviser is projected to rise to 19.97% from 0.66% at the end of last year, making it the second-largest shareholder.
