Actis expands into Japan
Actis has extended its footprint in Asia with an office in Japan and two senior hires. Jun Ohashi and Tareq Sirhan join the firm as partner and head of Actis Japan, and head of energy for North Asia respectively and will be based in Tokyo.
The Japan launch reflects Actis’ strategic evolution to invest behind global themes.
Actis expects to commit almost $500 million in Japan over the next 4-5 years and will also look at opportunities in Taiwan and Korea and will primarily explore energy transition assets and new economy real estate opportunities. In Asia the firm already has investments in China, Korea, Vietnam and India, and offices in Singapore, Shanghai, Seoul, Hong Kong, Delhi and Mumbai.
