Invesco names new head of real estate research

Invesco Real Estate has named Mark Roberts as Global Director of Research. As more Invesco Real Estate clients are looking for global expertise, the new position of Global Director of Research is a natural evolution for the firm, the company said. In his new role, Roberts will oversee research in North America, Europe, and Asia, ensure best practices, and assist with relative value decisions globally.

This move mirrors Invesco Real Estate's growing expansion from its roots as a North American real estate asset manager to one that has become global, beginning with its expansion into the UK and Continental Europe and more recently into Asia, the company said. "As more of our clients are looking to us for global expertise, this is a natural evolution for our firm, and these roles allow us to serve our clients most effectively,' said David Ridley, Managing Partner of Invesco Real Estate.
