Sanne expands to Japan

Thursday 17 January 2019

Jersey-headquartered Sanne has opened a new office in Tokyo to expand its network of offices across the Asia-Pacific region.

Mark Bennett (pictured) has been appointed as Country Head for its Japanese business.

Sanne's new office will initially focus on servicing existing real estate clients in the region while continuing to offer core services for alternative asset managers.

Mark Law, Managing Director for Asia-Pacific and Mauritius, said Sanne was delighted to establish a new presence in what he described as an "exciting market".

"This is in direct response to client demand and will serve to further add to our already well-established Asian office network and market expertise," he added. "As an important global financial centre for alternative assets, our new office will be key to servicing our global and local institutional asset management client base."

Mr Law also welcome the appointment of Mark Bennett. "Mark brings a huge wealth of talent, experience and expertise in the institutional asset management space both in Japan and across the region," he said.

Mr Bennett commented on the "exciting opportunity," saying: "Sanne has been on a very strong path of continued growth over the past few years and establishing a foothold in Japan further reinforces our continuing growth aspirations. I look forward to working with my new colleagues in Tokyo and wider colleagues across Sanne."
