The company offers portfolio management, securities investment advisory, real estate investment advisory, alternative investment funds, and discretionary investment management services; it also provides research and consulting on investments in private equity, real estate, infrastructure, and other alternative assets. INEST operates primarily in Japan, with its headquarters in Tokyo, and was founded in 2018.
The company's core offerings include the INEST Private Equity Fund series targeting buyouts and venture investments; real estate funds focused on commercial properties and development projects; and infrastructure funds emphasizing renewable energy and transportation assets.

In recent developments, INEST expanded its alternative investment platform through a strategic partnership with leading Japanese pension funds in 2024, enhancing access to large-scale infrastructure projects. The company launched a new renewable energy-focused fund in early 2025, capitalizing on Japan's green transition policies, and completed a funding round backed by major financial institutions to support business growth. These initiatives reflect INEST's shift toward sustainable investments and broader asset class diversification.
