Octavian Advisors has established a new office in London, England. The London office is New York-based Octavian’s second location and will house the firm’s subsidiary, Octavian Advisors (UK) Limited.

"While Octavian has long been active in Europe, we are pleased to increase our international footprint by establishing an office in London," says Richard Hurowitz, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Investment Officer of Octavian. “With over half of our assets invested in Europe, the new London office will enable us to further extend the firm’s capabilities. We look forward to capitalising on the many opportunities ahead on behalf of our investors.”

Octavian has invested the majority of its capital in Europe since its founding and has significant experience in both the distressed and special situations markets across the continent. Notable recent investments and transactions have included Head, Preem, IMO Car Wash, Balda, ProSieben, Glitnir and DMT.

The office will be led by Fook Hien Yap, who joined Octavian last year. Yap, a Vice President and member of the investment team of Octavian, was previously at Brencourt Advisors in London and was an investment banker and a member of the equity arbitrage desk at UBS in London. He holds master’s and bachelor’s degrees from the London School of Economics.
