Under the terms of a deal, AMP Capital would partner with PCCP which would match its global distribution network and partnerships with PCCP’s investment capabilities, particularly across US real estate debt and equity segment.

PCCP’s US client base included major public pension plans, commercial banks and insurance companies as well as leading international investors.

AMP Capital’s global head of real estate, Carmel Hourigan said: “The US is the world’s largest and deepest real estate market and presents the most compelling opportunity for AMP Capital to fast track the development of a global real estate platform.

“PCCP is a strong strategic and cultural fit with AMP Capital and we look forward to a successful partnership.”
