TOKYO (Reuters) -State-backed JIC's private equity arm said its goal of driving consolidation in Japan's chipmaking sector through portfolio firm JSR is unaffected by weak financial performance at the photoresist maker. Japan Investment Corp took JSR private last year in a $6 billion deal with the materials manufacturer saying it planned to make deals. "Our goal was to take JSR private and ... through a series of industry reorganisations, such as mergers with similar companies or rivals ... to significantly grow the semiconductor business and enhance international competitiveness, leading to re-listing," JIC Capital CEO Shogo Ikeuchi said in an interview.
