Living-focused real estate investment management business Aboria Capital has appointed Issie Armstrong as head of client capital.
Armstrong, who has more than 16 years of investment management experience, joins Aboria from DWS Group where she was head of real estate specialists, EMEA.
Prior to that, she held roles at Aviva Investors, serving as both investment director and product development director, and at LaSalle Investment Management, where she was an associate director.
In this newly create position, Armstrong will lead investor engagement efforts, drive targeted fundraising initiatives and identify investment solutions to meet the evolving needs of investors.
Jessica Hardman, CEO of Aboria Capital, said: “I am hugely excited to be reuniting with Issie once again. Her exceptional skillset, drive and infectious energy will be invaluable as Aboria accelerates its market launch. From the outset, Aboria’s strategy clearly resonated with Issie, and I’m confident that her contribution will be instrumental in sharpening our positioning with global institutions and allocators seeking exposure to our core conviction living sub-sectors.”
Armstrong added: “I am thrilled to be joining Aboria, where I have the rare opportunity to help shape a high-potential, growth-driven investment platform alongside high calibre industry veterans and a best-in-class living sector developer and operator like Downing. I had a strong partnership with Jessica at DWS, who shares my client-first mindset, which is especially important in the current investment climate. I am confident that Aboria’s ability and strategic vision will enable us to capitalise on emerging opportunities and build market-leading portfolios that will deliver strong performance to investors.”
