Pan-European private equity real estate investment manager Tristan Capital Partners has appointed Nik Haigh as a Director of Client Relations, where he will be specifically responsible for expanding the firm’s relationships with investors in the US and Canadian markets.
Haigh re-joins Tristan, having previously served with the Asset Management team of Tristan’s predecessor, Curzon Global Partners, from 2004 to 2009. Over the past three years Haigh led the European division for a major international not-for-profit, spearheading institutional and individual fundraising where he developed effective relationships with corporate, government, foundation, and high net worth partners. Haigh will be an integral part of the fundraising team and he will focus his time on building relationships in Canada and the USA. He reports to Monica O’Neill, Tristan Head of Client Relations and Marketing.
Tristan Capital Head of Client Relations, Monica O’Neill, says: “Nik is a great addition to Tristan’s client relations team because of his pan European real estate experience with Curzon and his genuine rapport with corporate, family office and foundation investors. The combination of his knowledge of active asset management and his awareness of what investors are thinking about makes him a great ally in this market.”
Haigh’s appointment follows that of Adam Smith who joined Tristan after eight years with The Townsend Group, a leading global real estate advisor and investment manager. In 2009, Smith was instrumental in Townsend’s expansion into Europe, helping to establishing the London office.
Tristan Capital Partners is the Portfolio Manager for the EPI and EPISO opportunistic funds as well as the recently closed Curzon Capital Partners III fund which have a number of European, Middle Eastern and US investors and Haigh will be an important part of the client relations team.
