Hau will be based in New York and will report locally to Jeff Michaels and Charlie Spero, co-heads of Fixed Income for Americas, and functionally to Georges Assi, head of Global Credit Products.

Hau will be joining Nomura from Goldman Sachs, where he worked for 12 years and most recently was a managing director and ran the firm’s credit investing and capital arbitrage group within Goldman Sachs Principal Strategies.

Jeff Michaels and Charlie Spero said Nomura continues to build its team and recently realigned its credit area by creating distinct High Yield and High Grade businesses in the Americas. Sandor will be a valuable asset in this next phase of the firm’s endeavor.
