A company spokesperson tells Asia Asset Management that the move is “part of the continued expansion of Heitman’s Asia Pacific private equity platform”.

Mr. Fu, who is based in Hong Kong, reports to Skip Schwartz, managing director of Heitman’s Asia Pacific private real estate equity group.

According to Mr. Schwartz, Mr. Fu has a “strong track record of executing successful real estate acquisitions and dispositions through market cycles and across the Asia Pacific region”.

“His depth of experience and understanding of the key Asia Pacific property markets and sectors position him to immediately contribute to our client’s portfolios,” he says in the August 7 statement.

Prior to joining Heitman, Mr. Fu was director of global real estate investments at Hong Kong-based Anbang Asset Management.

He has also worked as portfolio manager for Netherlands-based APG Asset Management, and investment banking analyst at Singapore’s DBS Bank.

Heitman had US$41.5 billion of assets under management at the end of 2017.
