Blue Owl hires Yoichi Nakamura head of Japan private wealth
Global alternative investment manager Blue Owl Capital has appointed Yoichi Nakamura as managing director and head of Japan Private Wealth based in Tokyo, according to a company announcement.
Nakamura, who previously served as CEO of Japan for Algebris Investments, will reinforce Blue Owl’s efforts to serve the largest securities companies and wealth managers in Japan.
“Yoichi’s nearly 25 years of experience exemplifies these two qualifications, enabling Blue Owl to come to the Japanese market with an established senior leader,” said Johann Santer, head of APAC Private Wealth at Blue Owl.

In 2023, Abu Dhabi state fund Mubadala Investment Company committed $1 billion to Blue Owl Capital’s credit platform under a strategic partnership.
