Laura Barstow, the former managing director of capital formation at Brookfield, has joined Swedish real estate manager Slättö to support its efforts in globalizing its investor base. This strategic hire comes as Slättö seeks to capture growing international interest in Nordic real estate markets. Barstow's expertise in capital formation will be critical as she helps Slättö attract foreign capital to its portfolio of properties across Sweden and neighboring regions. Nordic real estate has become increasingly attractive to global investors due to its stable markets and high yields, positioning Slättö to benefit from this trend.

Her move represents a significant step in Slättö's expansion strategy, aiming to diversify its funding sources beyond traditional domestic investors. This development underscores the growing importance of international capital in the Nordic property sector.
