When he took over from Tony Brown as Global Head of M&G Real Estate on July1, Martin Towns took the reins of a company that was "in very good shape", he told BiTV. With over 15 years' experience at the British asset management company, the man who has been Deputy Global Head of Real Estate since 2022 recalls that M&G operates "some of the largest real estate funds invested in these two regions" via its European and Asian platforms, and that the group "has capabilities in both direct investment and debt, through both core and value-added strategies".
