Qualitas expands distribution team
Real estate investment manager Qualitas has announced two new appointments which included Kathleen Tepana being named the firm’s new director, marketing and direct sales, while Belinda White has been named a director of external affairs.
The manager said the move was consistent with its plans to expand its offering to retail investors via the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) listed markets.
Tepana, who has more than 20 years of experience in senior marketing and distribution at alternative fund managers, joined from Pinnacle Investment Management where she was responsible for the development and implementation of marketing strategy for the firm’s listed investment vehicles.
Qualitas’ group managing director, Andrew Schwartz, said the company had moved to the next phase of growth, which would include new listed products that provide investors with exposure to wholesale property credit.
“To do this effectively, we are investing in experienced senior resources who can help us tell the Qualitas story to a new audience,” he said.
“Kathleen Tepana has an outstanding track record in marketing listed investment products, while Belinda White has deep experience in thought leadership and media relations for fund managers.”
Qualitas, which specialises in real estate debt and equity financing, said it generated strong, risk-adjusted returns by investing in over 100 real estate projects since its inception in 2008.
