Oaktree Capital Management has seen two departures from its Asian client relations and marketing teams, AsiaHedge’s sister publication HFM InvestHedge has learnt.

Hiroyasu Sato, a senior vice-president in marketing and Yuki Matsunaga, a vice-president in client relations left their posts in Oaktree’s Tokyo and Hong Kong offices respectively last month.

Sato had been with Oaktree since 2015. He joined from Invesco Asset Management (Japan), where he was a director in charge of institutional sales and client services.

Prior to that, he spent more than four years at PineBridge Investments as a client relations vice-president.

Matsunaga had been with the Los Angeles-headquartered alternatives manager for almost five and a half years, joining in 2013 from Partners Group, where she had been an assistant vice-president.

She previously held portfolio analyst and sales roles at Premier Asset Management, Mizuho Corporate Bank and Morgan Stanley Japan Securities.

Their next roles are not known.

Oaktree’s global marketing efforts are spearheaded by Tony Harrington, who leads a seven-strong team from Los Angeles, while the firm also has teams in New York, Dubai and Connecticut.

The firm’s client relations efforts globally are led by chief product officer Nicole Adrien.

As of 30 September, Oaktree and its affiliates managed $124bn across high-yield bonds, convertible securities, distressed debt, real estate, control investments and listed equities strategies.

Oaktree declined to comment.
