The AREF FutureGen Committee are delighted to invite members of the FutureGen Network to the first in a new series called 'An Evening With'.

These events will be small, intimate events, where a fireside chat will take place with someone from the real estate funds industry - looking at their career highlights to date and lessons learned along the way.  The events will include a networking opportunity with drinks and canapés.

The first event kicks off on the evening of Tuesday 27th February 2024, with a special interview with Andrew Baum, Emeritus Professor of Saïd Business School, University of Oxford.  Andrew has had an impressive career to date - highlights include:

  • He founded RES (a property research company) in 1990 and (with his partners) sold the business to Henderson Global Investors in 1997. In 2001 he founded OPC, a property research and investment company which was sold to CBRE Investors to create CBRE Global Investment Partners.
  • Andrew led the Saïd Business School's teaching activity in real estate 2009-2021 (MBA, EMBA and executive education), and in 2017 he established the Oxford Future of Real Estate Initiative, an industry-supported research programme focused on the 2025-2030 impact of innovation and technology on the global real estate industry.
  • He is Chairman of Newcore Capital Management, a real estate fund manager focussed on alternatives, and advisor to several property organisations. He was hired as the first director of property research for Prudential in 1987, since when he has spent part of his time as an academic and part of his time in business, developing an expertise in property funds, proptech and international real estate investment.
