Aegis leaps into securitised property research
By Ben Abbott
AegisEquities Research has enhanched its newly created property division following the appointment of formerresearch manager at Lonsec Property Research, Paul Nielson, to head up its unlisted property area.
To date Aegis has been servicing clients primarily within the listed property sector, however, Nielson’s appointment will see the group expand its service to include unlisted property.
The new division will aim to provide analysis, benchmarking and independent research on the Australian securitised property market.
The group says the move to create the division comes as a result of its clients expanding into different segments of the property market, creating the need to benchmark within and across different securitised property sectors.
At Lonsec Property Research, a subsidiary ofLonsdale Securities, Neilson was responsible for developing and maintaining the group’s property research platform.
He was also involved in expanding the unlisted property research activities of the group within the Australian property market and gaining market recognition of Lonsec’s research system.
