#97 Paul Hampton, CEO of Evonite

Prior to Evonite, Paul was head of PATRIZIA’s (formerly Rockspring Property Investment Managers) international discretionary fund management business which had close to €10bn AUM. He was also a member of the firm’s senior leadership group, its real estate Investment Committee and its Fund Review Committee.

Leading a team of professionals based in London and Continental Europe, he provided oversight across a number of co-mingled funds, separate accounts and joint ventures. His focus was on markets, strategy formation (including the creation of thematic programmes), equity raising, deployment and overall performance. A significant proportion of his time was devoted to the value-add TransEuropean Fund Series.

I sat down with Paul to discuss a broad range of subjects which covered some of the following topics: * Early career journey and foundational experiences

* Emphasis on the significance of people, purpose, and alignment

* Why the timing is right to launch Evonite now

* Complementary skill sets within the partnership

* Personal sacrifices and challenges of launching the business

* Evonite’s unique selling propositions and differentiators

* Returning to fundamental principles and strategies

* True alignment with LP’s

* Is there a gap for smaller fund series

* Key market trends

Oh and one last question - who are the People, what Property, and in which Place Paul would invest should he have £500m of capital at his disposal.
