Alardhi said: “Following our historic achievement of surpassing $50bn in assets under management in December 2022, the opening of an Investcorp office in Japan is the next major milestone along our road of global growth.

“It will strengthen our global presence and will allow us to better serve the needs of our clients in Japan. We are looking forward to further expanding our base of Japanese investors and bringing new investment capital into the region, namely from the GCC.

“We are excited to work with Professor Takenaka and our growing team on the ground to develop our offerings in Japan for the benefit of our clients, partners, and other stakeholders in the country.”

The latest development comes shortly after Investcorp reached a deal to buy American collateralised loan obligation (CLO) manager Marble Point Credit Management.
