Knight Frank Investment Management has hired Abrdn fund manager Kerri Hunter as a partner.
Hunter latterly managed UKCM REIT at Abrdn, where she worked for more than eight years. She also previously managed three Lloyds Banking Group funds with different strategies, with a combined NAV of £3.8bn.
Hunter’s experience in commercial real estate involves over £2.7bn of transactions across more than 140 assets, along with development matters such as city centre urban regeneration and land rezoning.
Before joining Abrdn in 2014, Hunter worked at Scottish Widows Investment Partnership as an investment director for 11 years, following four years as an investment manager at Royal London Asset Management.
Matthew McDonald, chief executive of KFIM, said: “Kerri brings a wealth of experience which will be hugely valuable for our clients, both existing and new.”
A spokesperson for Abrdn said: “We would like to thank Kerri for her valuable contribution to the team and company. She leaves with our best wishes for the future.”
