Strengthening our real estate capabilities in Asia Pacific

We have continued to strengthen our investment capabilities in real estate, which is an increasingly attractive asset class for international investors. It offers risk-adjusted returns and good opportunities for investors to diversify their portfolios – important qualities in the current low-return market environment.

Min Chow Sai has been appointed as Head of Investment Research for Real Estate in Asia Pacific. Min Chow will lead real estate research across Asia Pacific and provide investment insight and analysis for its global and regional portfolios.

Our combination of local research, global insight and an active approach to investing is proving a success for our global clients. Min Chow’s appointment also follows work to expand our direct real estate business in Asia Pacific during 2019.

In February we completed the acquisition of Orion Partners. And in June we established a joint venture with Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Bank Limited, to invest in residential real estate in Japan and other mature markets across the region.
