Nuveen has announced the enhancement of its real assets platform, by bringing together its private real asset capabilities and launching two new business units.
The newly structured Nuveen real assets platform will consist of capabilities in real estate, farmland, infrastructure, timberland, agribusiness and commodities. These will be organised under three core pillars, including two newly launched units that will sit alongside Nuveen Real Estate - Nuveen Natural Capital and Nuveen Infrastructure.
“We’re hugely excited to be enhancing our Real Assets proposition, which will include bringing expertise together to create the newly launched Nuveen Infrastructure and Nuveen Natural Capital businesses," said Nuveen CEO of Real Assets, Mike Sales.
"Investor demand for real assets is increasing at an extraordinary pace and by bringing together our unrivalled expertise in alternatives, we will be better positioned to respond to meet growing global investor demand for long-term sustainably managed investments.
"The strengthening of the platform represents the next step in our evolution in becoming the leading land-based asset manager, investing in a sustainable way for the enduring benefit of our clients and society."
Under the leadership of Mr Sales, the enhanced platform will launch in January 2022.
