Rogge Global Partners and Tokio Fire Marine Asset Management have formed a joint venture to offer fixed-income fund management to Japanese institutions, says John Graham, London-based partner at Rogge.
Rogge, a UK-based boutique fixed-income manager responsible for $6 billion of assets, has been rapidly growing its Japanese clientele.
