Shibata Takumi (Japanese: 柴田拓美) is a Japanese fund manager who is one of Japan's most high-profile financial executives.[1] He is currently founding partner of Fiducia, a VC fund.

Previously, he has held the positions of president and CEO of Nikko Asset Management [ja] and chief operating officer (COO) at Nomura Holdings.[2][3][4]

Education[edit]

Shibata graduated with a bachelor's degree in economics from Keio University in 1976. He earned an MBA from Harvard Business School in 1983.[5]

Career[edit]

Shibata joined Nomura Securities in 1976.[6] In 2005, he was appointed president of Nomura Asset Management, and became vice president of the holding company in 2008.[7] He was a key player in the company's internationalization strategy.[8] During the 2008 global financial crisis, Shibata was the driving force behind the acquisition of Lehman Brothers' European and Asian operations and led their integration as the company's vice president.[6][9][10][11] The deal transformed Nomura into a global player and strengthened its hold on the Japanese market; however, it resulted in steep losses in some divisions.[12] The deal led to Nomura's entrance to the Indian market.[13] He announced his resignation from the company as COO in 2012.[1][14] His resignation followed an investigation into alleged insider trading involving leaks of confidential information to clients ahead of IPOs.[15] After stepping down as COO in August 2012, he continued to advise the company before fully retiring in March 2013.[7]

In June 2013, Nikko Asset Management [ja], then Japan's third largest fund manager, announced that Shibata would become its chairman starting the following month.[10][16] He took over as president and CEO of the company in January 2014.[17][18] In the role, he focused on courting international investment with multi-asset products, which he said are attractive to global investors seeking diversified strategies.[19] Following the 2016 Brexit referendum, he expressed confidence that London would remain a global financial center.[20] In 2017, Shibata recommended high-growth sectors while stock picking and touted Nikko's global robotics fund which raised roughly $6 billion USD and was the first of its kind in Japan.[21] He stepped down as president and CEO in March 2019 six years after joining the company.[22]

Shibata went on to found Fiducia in June 2020.[23] The company announced its first fund, the Fiducia GrowthTech Fund, in February 2022 with a focus on deep tech and healthcare solutions.[24][25] The fund launched with initial capital of ¥3.3 billion JPY but expected to raise ¥10 billion JPY within its first year of operations.[26]

Personal life and philanthropy[edit]

Shibata was born in Yokohama in Japan's Kanagawa Prefecture in 1953.[27]

He sits on the board of Japan for UNHCR, the Tokyo Nikikai Opera Foundation, and JESC Music and Cultural Foundation.[28][29][30]
