AMP Capital has hired Tim Gibson from Morgan Stanley as assistant portfolio manager on its global real estate securities team.
Gibson, who will be based in London, will be responsible for researching and analysing listed European property companies and will report to Brett Ward, AMP Capital's global head of real estate securities.
"We are very pleased to have Tim joining the team in London. We now have four members of the real estate securities team in the UK and we are looking to recruit further staff," Ward said.
The London office includes Tom Walker, who recently relocated from AMP Capital in Sydney.
"The real estate securities market is becoming increasingly global in nature. Australian companies now own and manage extensive portfolios of European assets and it is important we have on the ground managers to assess these assets," Ward said.
The AMP Capital London-based real estate securities team manages more than $1.8 billion in European property securities.
