Yarra Capital Management was established in 2017 following the management buyout of Goldman Sachs Asset Management’s Australian-focused investment capabilities and operating platform, backed by TA Associates, a global growth private equity firm with a long history of investing in funds management companies. In April 2021, Yarra Capital Management acquired the Australian operations of global funds management group Nikko Asset Management. Under the terms of the transaction, the two organisations entered into a partnership focussed on long-term growth, providing Nikko Asset Management with a 20% stake and board representation in the enlarged group, and expanding Nikko Asset Management’s distribution capacity in Australia. Yarra Capital Management's senior management team comprises Dion Hershan (Executive Chairman and Head of Australian Equities), Edward Eason (Managing Director), Rob Bluzmanis (Head of Distribution), Vito D'Introno (Chief Commercial Officer), Katie Hudson (Portfolio Manager and Head of Australian Equities Research), Roy Keenan (Co-Head of Australian Fixed Income), Darren Langer (Co-Head of Australian Fixed Income) and Garvin Louie (Head of Legal, Risk and Compliance & Human Resources). Together they lead a team of approx. 75 professionals, including a 35-person investment team, focused on delivering the best outcomes for the Firm’s clients. read more
