UBS Asset Management makes strategic hire for Asia Pacific
UBS Asset Management has strengthened its Asia Pacific presence with the appointment of Trevor Cooke as head of global real estate for Asia Pacific.
Based in Sydney, the former Queensland Investment Corporation (QIC) managing director, strategy and international business development, will be responsible for executing the regional strategy, reporting to head of global real estate Thomas Wels.
In Cooke's previous position at QIC he led the development and implementation of QIC's business development and product initiatives across Asia, Europe and North America.
Prior to this, he spent four years with AMP Capital Brookfield, a specialist listed real estate and infrastructure fund manager.
"Trevor's extensive knowledge and management experience with institutional clients — in both more developed as well as developing markets in Asia — will be key as we look to build on our successful joint ventures and our existing hubs in the region," said Kai Sotorp, UBS Global Asset Management head of Asia Pacific.
Cooke commences his new role on May 27.
