Daisuke Noguchi joined J.P. Morgan Asset Management’s global real assets business in Tokyo as executive director and senior investment officer for real estate acquisitions in Japan, a spokeswoman for the firm confirmed.
The position — sourcing, executing and developing real estate opportunities and relationships in the Japanese market — is new. Mr. Nobuchi will report to Tetsuya Karasawa, the firm’s Tokyo-based managing director and head of real estate, Japan.
A J.P. Morgan Asset Management news release Thursday said Mr. Noguchi joined earlier this month from Mitsubishi Corp.’s real estate asset management business department where he served as head of the firm’s team responsible for acquisitions and disposition of investment properties.
A Mitsubishi Corp. spokesman couldn’t immediately be reached for comment.
The news release said J.P. Morgan Asset Management’s global real assets business had more than $95 billion in assets under management as of June 30.
