# Brevan Howard Plans Tokyo Office, to Hire Traders in Hub Boost

Brevan Howard Asset Management plans to open a Tokyo office this summer, joining the rush of global finance giants seeking to capitalize on trading opportunities in the Japanese market, according to people with knowledge of the matter.

The Jersey, Channel Islands-based firm will have an interim office in the Shin-Marunouchi Center Building, as it scouts for more permanent space in the tight Tokyo office market, said one of the people, who asked not to be identified discussing private information. It is recruiting for a number of investment roles, including those who trade Japanese government bonds, yen swaps and rates volatility, the people added.

A representative for Brevan Howard declined to comment. Founded in 2002, the firm that’s now one of the world’s biggest hedge fund managers had a small economic research office in Tokyo around 2006 to 2008, without investment or marketing staff.

The move is the latest encouraging sign for Japan’s government as it seeks to boost Tokyo’s status as a that can compete with Hong Kong and Singapore. The return of inflation to Japan has revived the rates market, while corporate governance reforms have bolstered investor returns and dealmaking.

Firms including Blackstone Inc., Ares Management Corp., Hillhouse Investment Management and Dymon Asia Capital are among those increasing investments in the country or trying to expand Japan-focused teams.

Global financial companies have been scrambling to hire talent in Japan, after decades of doldrums. Opening a Tokyo office would typically help them attract employees who don’t wish to relocate elsewhere, as well as bring the firms closer to local markets and companies.

Brevan Howard oversees $11.7 billion in its Master Fund, its oldest hedge fund. Its multistrategy Alpha Strategies Fund has about $11.3 billion.
