ACORE Capital Launches Wealth Platform, Names Mick Manning President

ACORE Capital has launched a wealth management distribution platform to expand financial advisors’ access to its commercial real estate investment strategies, appointing industry veteran Mick Manning to lead the business.

ACORE Capital Wealth Solutions, or ACWS, will offer real estate credit and select equity investments to high-net-worth investors. The platform will draw on ACORE’s underwriting capabilities and experience owning and operating properties.

The firm said its offerings will target demand for income, diversification, downside protection and tax-efficient real estate exposure.

“We continue to see meaningful opportunity and deal flow across our business and expanding into this growing investor channel enables us to invest additional capital which will deepen our already strong relationships with the borrowing community for the benefit of all our investors,” CEO Warren de Haan said.

As president, Manning will oversee ACWS’s strategy, product development and distribution. He joins from Apollo’s Bridge Investment Group, where he was managing director and head of national sales within the Client Solutions Group, leading distribution to registered investment advisers and broker-dealers.

Previously, Manning was managing director and head of capital markets at Denver-based Forum Investment Group. He also served as CEO of KBS Capital Markets Group and Pacific Oak Capital Markets.

“Advisors and their clients are looking for access to the high-quality private real estate investment managers that institutional investors already trust, with a cycle-tested record,” Manning said.
