Hodes Weill & Associates, a global real estate advisory boutique, has appointed Jonathan Read as a Principal in its London office with primary responsibility for institutional coverage in Europe.
Jonathan was previously employed at Angelo, Gordon & Co., where he was responsible for institutional coverage and capital raising across Europe.
Will Rowson, Partner, commented: “With Jonathan’s diverse experience in capital raising, we look forward to the expertise and the relationships that he will bring to help drive our growth, working with our clients across Europe. Institutions remain highly selective in allocating capital to new investments and only managers or developers with the best strategies and track records are able to successfully fundraise at this time of the cycle. Jonathan is a strong addition to our global team and will support our presence in key European markets.”
Jonathan continued “Hodes Weill has built an impressive position as advisors and institutional capital raisers for some of the top performing fund managers across the industry. With continuing market changes and ever evolving opportunities, I look forward to building on Hodes Weill’s position as leaders in its field.”
Prior to his role at Angelo, Gordon & Co., Jonathan was a member of the Capital Introduction team at JP Morgan, supporting hedge fund clients across investor marketing advice and consultancy services. Jonathan previously worked for seven years at Wachovia Securities in New York, where he sold US equities, global fixed income and funds to European and South African middle market institutions.
Jonathan started his career in South Africa at EW Balderson, which was followed by roles at RBS and Robert Fleming Securities in London and Schroder and Co in New York. In his previous roles he has covered Scandinavia, Switzerland, UK, Germany, France, Italy, Ireland and the Middle East.
