YCP Group

What YCP Group does

YCP Holdings (Global) Limited is an Asia-focused professional consulting firm headquartered in Singapore, publicly listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Growth Market via Japanese Depositary Receipt (ticker 9257). The firm operates across three reportable segments: Management Services (Advisory/Strategy, Project Management Office execution, and Transaction/M&A advisory), Solutions Businesses (Digital Transformation, Interactive Solutions, Sustainability Solutions, Supply Chain Solutions, and Operational Transformation), and Principal Investments (Personal Care, Pet Care, and Strategic Investments). YCP served 500+ professionals across 20+ offices prior to the Consus Global closing, which expanded the footprint to 21 offices spanning five continents with named regional leadership in Singapore (global HQ), Mumbai (India), and San Diego (Americas/EU).

The business model is project- and retainer-based professional services fees, with professionals typically deployed on-site at client locations for PMO and execution support. Enterprise clients span 13 industry verticals including Automotive & Mobility, Aerospace & Defense, Consumer & Retail, Healthcare, Industrials, Financial Services, and Private Equity & Investments. FY2025 reported revenue of $105.7M USD (165.5B JPY) and operating profit of $7.9M USD, representing growth from $50.6M in FY2019. Customer mix skews toward large multinational corporations and PE/investment firms seeking cross-border Asia expansion, with 120+ active clients in India and 10,000+ cumulative projects across Asia.

The firm's growth strategy combines organic service-line expansion with a sustained acquisition program — Auctus Advisors (2022, India platform), Consus Global (2023/2025, supply chain), Shenkuo Business Partners (2024, Europe/APAC), and Renoir Holdings (2025, operational transformation) — each acquired to either add a new solutions vertical or expand geographic reach. Principal Investments deploys the firm's own balance sheet into operating companies, generating $35.5M FY2025 revenue and creating a hybrid advisory/principal model uncommon in pure-play consultancies. Governance follows the Japanese Audit Committee Company system with three independent directors on the audit committee.
