Investment manager Barings has entered into a share sale deal to buy 100% of Altis Property Partners (Altis) for an undisclosed amount.

Based in Australia, Altis is a private equity real estate investment company with A$6.079bn ($4.30bn) of assets under management (AUM).  

The deal is scheduled to be completed by 1 September, 2022.

Following the completion of the deal, Barings will strengthen its workforce by 44 new employees who are experienced in real estate equity.

Barings chairman and CEO Mike Freno said: “We’re excited to welcome Altis to our real estate platform as we strengthen our local investment capabilities in Australia and continue to expand our footprint in the region.

“Asia Pacific makes up approximately a third of Barings’ third-party AUM and is expected to be a key driver of growth for us.
