These appointments highlight our overall commitment to growing the European business into a market-leading investment management platform. The depth and diversity of Europe’s real estate market makes it a compelling opportunity for overseas capital seeking real estate returns. We are excited about the future and believe these appointments add further strength to the structure of our European business.”

This is a fantastic opportunity to take the business forward as we continue with our strategy to grow assets under management in Europe. The strength of our group is founded on the quality and experience of our locally-based asset and fund management teams. The importance of being able to offer investors a global solution for their real estate investments is becoming increasingly important as real estate continues to command an even greater allocation in investors’ portfolios.”
