Rory Morrison - PGIM Real Estate

Based in London, Morrison will oversee the firm's European Core, European Core Plus, and UK Affordable Housing strategies, while also supporting business development teams. Part of Morrison's role will include assisting with fundraising for these core strategies. 
This is a new position, and he will report to Sebastiano Ferrante, PGIM Real Estate's head of Europe.
He brings over 30 years of experience, most recently from Invesco Real Estate, where he managed their pan-European real estate strategy, leading client accounts and driving asset growth. He previously held similar positions at Trillium (under Goldman Sachs) and CB Hillier Parker (now CBRE).
Sebastiano Ferrante commented: “Rory’s appointment reflects our commitment to strengthening the European platform and advancing our core strategies at a pivotal moment in the real estate markets, with recovery well underway. As we begin to see signs of core capital returning and liquidity improving, we see a clear opportunity to drive growth by creating even greater alignment across our core investment strategies. We’re thrilled to welcome Rory onboard as we position ourselves for the next phase of the cycle.”
Rory Morrison added; “PGIM Real Estate has one of the most diversified real estate investment platforms globally, I’m excited to join this talented team and build on the success of its European core platform.”
Morrison's appointment follows Shaun Hose's promotion to head of UK Equity earlier this year.
