London-based Fulcrum Asset Management has named Akio Ohtsuka, a veteran of Sumitomo Trust & Banking, as a senior adviser.
Ohtsuka, who also holds the role of executive adviser to Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Bank, is a former chairman of Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Asset Management. He has written several financial publications including a guide to business that will soon be translated into English.
“His reputation and experience over 42 years is second to none and his comprehensive understanding of the asset management business in Japan will be invaluable as we fully commit to serving clients in the country,” said Andrew Stevens, chief executive of Fulcrum Asset Management.
Founded in 2004, Fulcrum Asset Management provides multi-asset funds and employs 70 people to manage $5.4 billion in assets.
Ohtsuka joined Sumitomo Trust & Banking in 1976.
