Newcore Hires Industry Vet as Head of Institutional Capital

Newcore Capital, a UK-focused real estate investment manager specializing in social infrastructure, hired Anne Copeland as head of institutional capital, where she will be responsible for developing and managing funds for the firm’s institutional clients.

She brings over 29 years of experience to the position, having previously served as co-head of social infrastructure at Alpha Real Estate and in senior fund management roles at Aegon, Aviva, and Schroders. During that period, she pioneered the creation of specialized funds for social infrastructure, healthcare, and housing, according to Newcore.

Copeland is the eighth hire in the past year, following the recent appointment of Charles Week as a senior advisor. According to the firm, her accession has resulted in a 50/50 male/female ratio within the top management team.

“I am proud to join Newcore, where a deep sense of social purpose is ingrained both individually and collectively, reflecting their status as a highly regarded B Corp,” said Copeland.

This hire follows the close of Newcore’s fifth value-add fund, Newcore Strategic Situations V, for £190 million and the launch of its new core-plus fund, the Newcore Social Infrastructure Income Fund, that seeks to raise £375 million to address critical societal needs, with a first close expected during the fourth quarter.
