Tadao Tsubata

Mr Tsubata from 1991 to 1997, Tadao worked in corporate finance at a Japanese securities company. From this role, he moved to an international life insurance and investment company where he was involved in retail offerings and distribution of the business in Japan. Establishing his first business in life insurance distribution and agencies in 2001, this formed the basis of a new business being a Japanese focused asset management company. In early 2010, the activities of both the insurance business and the asset management company grew to the extent that a private investment advisory firm was established to specifically target international investments in mining exploration, primary production and other growth industries. Tadao continues in the role of Chief Executive Officer of this business and its international operations including in Australia.
