London, England (Press Release) -- CapMan is pleased to announce the appointment of James O'Neil as Managing Director, Real Estate to its Fund Investor Relations team. This strategic recruitment underscores CapMan's commitment to expanding its investor relations and fundraising capabilities and driving growth in the international private real asset sector.
CapMan Real Estate has over the past years demonstrated remarkable growth in its Nordic real estate product offerings, ranging today from value-add funds to open-ended income-oriented funds investing in residential, hotel, and public sector real estate. Since 2013, its Nordic strategies have successfully raised over EUR 3.6 billion from a global institutional investor base. This achievement highlights CapMan Real Estate's ability to attract international capital and deliver exceptional value to its investors.

He has previously held key positions as Executive Director and Head of Equity Placement UK at CBRE Capital Advisors and as Head of International Distribution at Legal & General Investment Management, Real Assets.
"We are thrilled to welcome James O'Neill to our team at a time, when real assets already account for three quarters of CapMan's EUR 6.4 billion asset under management," says Mari Simula, Head of Fund Investor Relations at CapMan.
"O'Neill's expertise, global institutional investor network, and deep understanding of private market dynamics will be instrumental in advancing our fundraising initiatives and achieving our strategic objectives," adds Mika Matikainen, Managing Partner of CapMan Real Estate.
In his new role, O'Neill will be responsible for developing and executing fundraising strategies, identifying potential investors, and managing investor relations primarily for CapMan's real estate funds.
"I am excited to join CapMan and contribute to its successful and growing real assets product offering," says O'Neill.
"CapMan has a unique position across private markets in the Nordics, and I look forward to working with the team to continue developing our investment strategies and deepening relationships with our investors," he continues.
This appointment supports CapMan's objective to increase its assets under management to EUR 10 billion during the ongoing strategy period.
