AMP Capital appoints new wholesale office fund manager
AMP Capital has appointed Kit Georgeos as the fund manager for the AMP Capital Wholesale Office Fund (AWOF) which manages over $6 billion in premium office assets for investors.
Georgeos joined AMP Capital from GPT, where she was deputy fund manager for the GPT Wholesale Office Fund for three and a half years, working with the fund manager to maximise returns for the fund.
Prior to that, she spent three years as head of product development (funds management) where she was involved in establishing GPT’s funds management strategy and led the launch of the GPT Metro Office fund.
She also held the role of associate director, real estate at Macquarie Bank for eight years, with a focus on mergers and acquisitions activity and equity raisings across both the listed and unlisted real estate sectors.
“Kit joins us at an exciting time for the Fund. AWOF is well positioned, with strong occupancy and 100 per cent weighting to the strongest markets in Australia,” AMP Capital’s managing director office and logistics, Luke Briscoe, said.
“Kit’s focus will be on how to further capitalise on the strong market fundamentals while delivering on the fund’s strategy for our investors and the committed investment pipeline including Quay Quarter, Wynyard and South Eveleigh.”
