Nomura Asset Management U.S.A. has launched Nomura Global Alpha, a New York-based venture focused on managing alpha-oriented fixed income products and solutions for both institutional and retail investors. The new venture represents an initiative to provide products to Nomura Asset Management's investors.
Dr Rajiv Sobti will head the team responsible for portfolio management and will be the CIO of NGA. The NGA portfolio team in New York City will work in close cooperation with the existing fixed income teams of NAM USA's Tokyo and London-based affiliates.
Dr Sobti most recently served as president and CIO of Proxima Alfa Investments (USA), where he managed fixed income separate accounts and commingled institutional funds. Prior to that, he was co-head of fixed income at BlackRock Financial Management.
Shigeru Shinohara, president and CEO, NAM USA, said, 'This move represents an excellent opportunity for us to leverage our global platform and existing portfolio teams to offer our investors a broader set of investment strategies that will complement and enhance the achievement of their investment objectives. The capital markets in the US offer a very robust opportunity set and the new venture enables us to focus on these opportunities using a variety of approaches, with an emphasis on portable alpha products.'
NAM U.S.A. provides investment management services to institutional investors and collective investment vehicles. Its client base includes pension plans, governmental agencies and investment funds operating in North America and Japan.
NAM USA is a subsidiary of Nomura Asset Management, the asset management arm of Asian financial services group Nomura.
