Yasumitsu (Yasu) Iwasa is appointed as the Head of Japan at KBRA. With over 30 years of experience in investment banking and fund management. Over the years, he has worked with Impax Asset Management, FullertonFundManagement, PIMCO, and GoldmanSachs.
This appointment shows the company’s commitment to amplify its presence across Asia-Pacific and also meet the needs of the investors in the public and private credit sectors of Japan.
“The private credit landscape is evolving rapidly—and KBRA’s commitment to transparency, rigorous analysis, and client-first service aligns perfectly with investor needs here. I look forward to partnering with our current Tokyo-based employees, Miki Monroe-Sheridan, Head of Business Development; Yuuichi Hino, Head of Japan Compliance; and Peter Connolly, Senior Director, to build an even stronger presence in Japan,” shared Iwasa.
Kate Kennedy, Senior Managing Director and Co-Head of Business Development at KBRA, said, “Yasu’s deep network, strategic understanding of global private credit landscapes, and experience launching asset management operations make him uniquely positioned to drive our mission forward in this region.”
