Real Estate Fundraising Dips, Firms Expand US Presence

Henderson Park, a London-based manager, is expanding its US team by hiring Tyler Rothenberg from Cerberus, nearly doubling its headcount since 2024. Norges Bank Investment Management, the Norwegian sovereign wealth fund, has outsourced management of its London and Paris office properties to Stanhope, seeking specialist expertise to improve returns. Link, a Hong Kong REIT, appointed Redevco's Slater as its incoming chief executive, a move that surprised some given his private funds background, though he will not lead that division at his new firm. Australia's Rest superfund as part of its broader push into private markets, seeking diversification beyond traditional asset classes.

Infrastructure Investments Continue, Healthcare Compliance Gains Traction

Australia's Rest superfund between infrastructure and its long-term investment objectives. Marina Pasika, the fund's head of private markets, stated that infrastructure remains a focus for deployment, benefiting from the asset class's long time horizons for its young member base. M&G's infrastructure chief, Anish Majmudar, expressed continued interest in US assets and plans to increase secondary market investments, emphasizing diversification within the insurer's £4bn infrastructure portfolio. Separately, healthcare compliance is, with experts like Wiks Moffat, founder of Calyx Compliance, noting its increasing importance beyond mere regulatory necessity.
