Kevin Aitchison, CEO of KFIM, commented: “A key part of the KFIM strategy has been to strengthen our partnerships in the Asian market, as well as continuing to service our growing UK institutional investment requirements. Following the recent closing of our first two acquisitions on behalf of Korean institutional investors, and new allocations of capital from UK investors last year, we identified David as someone who could provide additional depth and strength to our existing team. With over 17 years of experience in the transactional markets, he will focus primarily on sourcing and identifying stock that will meet our Clients’ targeted investment returns.”
