The year has also delivered further diversification for the business with a deepening footprint in Asia through co-investments and our award-winning European Debt franchise reached €6bln earlier this month. But direct investment in Europe continues to be the bedrock of our activity and the newly formed West Europe region will help to bring us closer to our customers by deepening our market coverage”, noted Francois Trausch, CEO of Allianz Real Estate, “The depth of talent we have in the business has enabled us to make these promotions in a seamless way and I look forward to them driving the business forward in the coming months and years.”
