The Zaibatsu Financial Corporation was founded in 2011, but its origins go back to the financial crisis of 2008. During this period, when panic was rampant in the financial world, a group of investors came together to take advantage of the investment opportunities that were taking shape on the American capital markets. The investment fund they created performed very well during the years that followed, however they detected a growing need in the field of small independent private investment funds, the services that were available to them were few in between and very costly. They decided to pursue this opportunity and created the Zaibatsu Financial Corporation with the goal of capturing this market that is in full expansion.
