Wagner has more than 25 years of experience in the real estate investment business, of which the most recent 20 years were spent with Anglo-American investment giant Nuveen and its predecessor companies TH Real Estate and Henderson Global Investors.

As managing director at Nuveen, he was responsible for the German investment business for more than ten years. He also set up and managed several teams in Austria and the Benelux countries.

Carsten Fischer, CEO of Values Group, said: 'We are growing strongly. The activities at Values are becoming more complex - both on the property acquisition and on the product side.

'In the area of social infrastructure, with our products Values Daycare Invest, Values Health Invest and the Values Public Sector Fund, we have reached a critical size that allows us to add further experts to our team. For our ambitions we need specialists who can tackle this immediately. I am very happy that with Thilo Wagner we have been able to win a very experienced and renowned investment manager for Values.'

Wagner said: 'Values has caused a stir in the real estate investment market over the past twelve months. I am attracted by the innovation and the competence. Everything together results in a very dynamic development that challenges my entrepreneurial commitment. I am pleased to be able to make my contribution to this growth story.'

Values Real Estate has launched a total of ten institutional funds with a focus on prime location assets, logistics, health and social infrastructure.
