SVP strengthens presence in Japan with senior adviser appointment
Friday, November 13, 2026 · first reported by Alternative Credit Investor
Shigesuke Kashiwagi, who is based in Tokyo, joins Strategic Value Partners (SVP) in an advisory capacity, taking a senior adviser seat on the firm's advisory council. SVP pointed to rising demand for opportunistic investment strategies in Japan, where it has had a dedicated Tokyo office since 2005.
Kashiwagi's latest post was senior adviser at EQT AB. Before that he led Schroders in Japan as country head from 2016 to 2020. Masatomo Zaizen, SVP's managing director for sourcing, said Kashiwagi's market relationships would complement the existing team. SVP manages $23bn (£17.3bn).
