Australian Ethical Investments has named Adam Roberts as its new Head of Private Markets. Roberts brings over two decades of investing experience, having held senior roles at Macquarie Group and Cerberus Capital Management.
At Macquarie, he served in several investing roles, as well as Global Head of Strategy across the asset management business. His recent focus was on infrastructure and real assets that deliver both commercial returns and measurable impacts, addressing issues like inequality and climate change.
In his new role, Roberts will oversee Australian Ethical’s Infrastructure Debt Fund, a renewable and infrastructure debt fund that finances key Australian projects in renewable energy, social infrastructure, and property projects with a social or environmental benefit.
Roberts will also manage Australian Ethical’s existing private markets portfolio across private equity, infrastructure, real estate, private credit, and venture capital, and explore additional private markets product solutions catering to wholesale and institutional clients.
