People Property Place #25 Issie Armstrong, Director - Global Alternatives Specialists at DWS Group
The DWS Group (DWS) – formally Deutsche Asset Management is one of the worlds leading asset managers and currently boasts €841bn of assets under management.
Issie studied Real Estate at the Royal Agricultural University before joining Deutsche Bank as an Analyst. She has since held roles at Eden Rock Group, LaSalle, Aviva Investors, and her experience spans investment, investment specialist, real estate development and asset management.
Outside of work, Issie is a passionate Mentor for Moving Ahead and GAIN two social impact organisations advancing workplace inclusion and diversity. In 2021 Issie was a finalist in the Investment Weeks Woman of the Year award.
I sat down with Issie to discuss a broad range of subjects which covered some of the following topics:
- How she got into Real Estate
- Impostor Syndrome
- What is an “Investment Specialist”
- Creating Real Estate Investment Products
- Where the investment opportunities currently lie
- Oh, and one last question - who are the People, what Property, and in which Place Issie would invest should she have £500m of equity at her disposal.
