AMP Capital Managing Director, Retail Brett Williams said he was pleased to make these two strong appointments to the Fund.

“I am very pleased to appoint such strong real estate investment professionals to ADPF, which is one of largest diversified property funds in Australia. Over the last few months Tom has worked closely with me as I’ve transitioned into my new role, and his appointment demonstrates the outstanding and diverse talent we have in this business.

“Additionally, we were impressed by Andrew’s strong retail and operational experience, and his skills will perfectly complement Tom’s, to create a winning team. Under Tom’s leadership, I have no doubt the Fund will go from strength to strength, as we look to continue to provide sustainable returns for our investors,” Williams said.
