M&G : BauMont strengthens European value‑add platform with senior appointment in Germany

London, 5 March 2026: M&G Real Estate today announces that its specialist real estate manager, BauMont, has appointed Ibrahim Awan as Investment Director, Germany, further strengthening its ability to source and execute value-add opportunities in Europe.

Ibrahim becomes BauMont's first Investment Director in Germany, a key milestone in the platform's continued European expansion. Based in M&G's Frankfurt office, he will originate value-add transactions, work with local operating partners, and help drive the performance of existing and future assets in line with BauMont's investment strategy. Over time, BauMont intends to expand its German presence, building on M&G Real Estate's European track record of investing across equity and debt platforms spanning the full risk-return spectrum.

Ibrahim joins from PGIM Real Estate, where he was Vice President in their German acquisitions team, leading transactions across value-add, core-plus and core strategies. He previously held roles at Barings and JLL in Germany, bringing deep cross-sector experience and a strong network of local partners¹.

Frederic Laurent, Managing Partner, BauMont Real Estate, said: "We're pleased to welcome Ibrahim to BauMont. His experience will be instrumental as we pursue high-conviction opportunities in the German market, particularly compelling value-add opportunities in the living sector. This is an important milestone that complements M&G's existing presence in Germany as we continue to grow our platform across Europe."

Ibrahim Awan added: "I'm delighted to join BauMont at a time when the German market offers compelling risk-adjusted opportunities for value-add strategies in Europe's largest real estate market. Backed by committed capital, a clear strategy and M&G's scale, we have a unique opportunity to develop the German business and support further growth in Europe."

M&G acquired a 65% stake in BauMont Real Estate in November 2024, reinforcing its commitment to growing its European value-add capabilities within M&G's broader private markets offering, which includes real estate, private credit, infrastructure and alternatives. The partnership combines BauMont's specialist expertise with M&G's capital base, enabling the business to pursue high-conviction opportunities across key European markets.
