Sanne, a global provider of alternative asset and corporate services, opened an office in Tokyo and announced a key appointment in Japan.
The opening of an office in Tokyo expands Sanne's already strong network across the Asia-Pacific region and adds further capability and scope to the services the firm offers its clients. According to further information Sanne also appointed Mark Bennett (pictured above) as country head of the company's Japanese business.
He joins Sanne from State Street where he was responsible for their offshore funds business and also held the position of Chief Operating Officer for State Street’s Trust Bank in Japan. Prior to State Street he worked for Goldman Sachs Asset Management responsible for Fund Services in APAC, overseeing businesses in Australia, China, Japan and South Korea.
Global Network of Offices
Sanne’s Tokyo office will initially focus on servicing existing real estate clients in the region while continuing to offer core services for alternative asset managers. The firm first established a presence in Asia in 2010 when it opened offices in Shanghai and Hong Kong, further opening a Singapore office in 2014.
Established for over 30 years and listed as a FTSE 250 company on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange, Sanne employs more than 1,400 people worldwide and administers structures and funds that have in excess of £215 billion ($275 billion) of assets. The company delivers fiduciary services to a highly valued international client base through a global network of offices located in 18 leading financial jurisdictions, which are spread across the Americas, EMEA and Asia-Pacific.
