Aberdeen Asset Management has beefed up its direct property team with the recruitment of William Shaw to the Asia Pacific region.
Shaw will join Aberdeen as head of segregated property mandates, Asia Pacific after 20 years in the Asia-Pacific property industry working with Cushman & Wakefield, Everview Capital Partners, Composition Capital Partners and Owe Enterprises.
Russell Chaplin, property chief investment officer at Aberdeen, said: “Aberdeen is now the second-largest property asset manager in Europe and William’s appointment is part of our aim to replicate that success in Asia.
“While we already have ten years of experience investing in Asian property funds, William’s intimate knowledge of local markets will be vital as we look to expand our direct assets under management in the region.”
