With more than 10 years of real estate investment management experience, Anthony joins the platform from MetLife Investment Management’s Institutional Client Group, where he was a critical contributor to capital raise and product launch of real estate equity and debt strategies. He previously held similar roles at PGIM Real Estate and a related value hedge fund.
