Nakamura joins Blue Owl from Algebris Investments, where he served as CEO Japan.

During his six-year stint, he helped expand the firm’s operations in Tokyo, leading strategic sales planning, launching offshore public offerings, and increasing distributor numbers.

His efforts are said to have resulted in the receipt of investment mandates from Japan’s ‘leading’ securities companies and wealth managers across various alternative strategies.

Nakamura said: “It is an honour to join one of the fastest growing global private markets firms. Blue Owl’s strategies are focused on seeking income generation and capital preservation, two characteristics that we believe will continue to be well-received by the Japanese wealth channel.”
