Bysh, who will also be responsible for the German and Dutch offices, will continue to expand Cording’s fully-integrated investment management platform, focusing on delivering for segregated accounts and club deals.   

Bysh joined Cording in 2013, when Frankfurt-based Feldberg Capital, where he was CEO, merged its real estate investment management activities and team with Cording.

Bysh has extensive experience in real estate investment, structuring and managing real estate funds for institutional investors in Europe. Before Feldberg Capital, he was a managing director at Rothschild, responsible for real estate investment banking in Germany from 2006 to 2008. He continues to be a senior adviser to Rothschild.

Prior to Rothschild he spent seven years at Henderson Global Investors.

In other board changes Will Amies will become deputy CEO of the firm and will also be responsible for the UK office in addition to continuing his role as head of business development while Mark Millar will become head of investment responsible for all transactional activity as well as for portfolio management.

Amies joined Cording in April 2013 as a director of business development and in September 2015 was promoted to head of business development and to the main board. He has worked in business development roles in the real estate industry since 2001. He became partner at Obsidian Group in 2004 where he oversaw acquisitions, distribution services and built the Scandinavian investment platform from conception. In 2007 he founded Mont Fort Investments to provide third-party business development services to UK-based real estate investors focusing on cross-border investments.

Established in 2008, Cording provides fully-integrated services, covering investment management, asset management and property management. The firm currently has €2.7 bn under management in the UK, Germany, Scandinavia and Benelux.
