Europa, a pan-European real estate investment specialist, has strengthened its investment management team with the appointment of Aqil Nagji as director, fund management.
Nagji will be based in London and work initially as deputy fund manager alongside Simon Hooper, who is retiring at the end of the year, before taking over Hooper's responsibilities as fund manager. In this role, he will support Amirali Kasraie as head of investment management across all of Europa's funds.
Nagji joins Europa after over five years at Patrizia where he was a fund manager overseeing both value-add and core strategies, including a fully discretionary, closed-ended value-add fund with a gross asset value (GAV) of around €850 million investing across Europe and into multiple sectors. In addition, he was deputy fund manager for two fully discretionary funds investing on a pan-European basis and across sectors. These comprised an £800 million GAV open-ended flagship core fund and a closed-ended value-add fund with a peak GAV of €550 million.
Prior to Patrizia, Nagji was a financial analyst at the Toronto and New York Stock Exchange listed Granite Real Estate Investment Trust, having previously spent almost three years from 2015 to 2018 at Deloitte.
