M&G Real Estate, the real estate fund management arm of M&G Investments, has appointed Marc Reijnen as Head of Asset Management to lead its Continental European Asset Management team. He joined on this week and reports to Tony Brown, chief investment officer at M&G Real Estate.
Marc, who will be based in Paris, was previously a Fund Management Director and Member of the Country Board (France) at CBRE Global Investors – having previously held roles at ING REIM, Grosvenor CE and CB Richard Ellis.
M&G Real Estate has also bolstered its Paris-based asset management and investment teams through the appointment of Michael Combres as Asset Manager, who joins from CBRE Global Investors, Sebastien Armspach as Senior Analyst, who moves from Cushman & Wakefield, and Hedi Methenni, who joins from CBRE Global Investors.
M&G Real Estate continues to focus on the rental recovery in Continental Europe, bolstering its investment capability and further strengthening its business, following on from its appointment of Olivier Vellay as Head of Investment, Continental Europe, in November.
Tony Brown comments: “With the increase in domestic and cross-border demand for real estate in Continental Europe we are attracting significant new capital to our European product range.
“Therefore we continue to invest in the growth and development of our team in Continental Europe, to support the continued growth of our business and to realise our growth ambitions – as we invest on behalf of, and alongside, pension funds, sovereign wealth funds and insurance companies.”
