By GlobalDataDavid Turner, director of property, European Retail for Henderson, said: "The team in place in Southern Europe boasts a wealth of experience across the retail sector including fund management, investment, development, asset management and leasing. We are fully equipped to apply these skills to our existing portfolio, adding value at all levels from development to tenant engineering, for the benefit of our clients, while also scoping the market for new investment opportunities."
The new hires represent Henderson’s commitment to strengthen its management and investment activity within Southern Europe. In a recent research paper, Henderson highlighted the investment case for the retail sector within the region.
Stefan Wundrak, director of research, property, Henderson Global Investors, said: "The property risk premium for Spain and Italy is higher than for most other major countries in Europe. However, expected returns should compensate for the risk. Capital uplift will drive short term performance as yields respond to lower risk aversion and rental growth will contribute to performance after retail sales and retailer confidence recover."
