Other professional positions she has held include several years as a Bulwiengesa appraiser, head of research at Westdeutsche Immobilienbank, and research analyst and consultant at JLL, Invesco and ERM.
André Zücker, managing director of KGAL Investment Management said: 'We have always attached great importance to our in-house research capability to make sustainably sound investment decisions on behalf of our clients.
'In particular during volatile market phases, in-depth market knowledge is imperative - I am therefore pleased that we were able to attract a top expert in Britta Roden. Her many years of expertise will add great value to all our departments and teams.'
Added Roden: 'I am looking forward to contributing not only my experience in the real estate segment in the future, but also expand the team further in the areas of infrastructure markets and investments around energy transition.
'In addition, KGAL's working philosophy is an ideal match for my own - sustainable, based on specialist expertise and fiduciary for the investor.'
