Heitman Adds Defined Contribution Expert
Chicago-based Heitman LLC has hired Walter “Tripp” Braillard as SVP, defined contribution solutions. He’ll be responsible for supporting the firm’s initiatives across its full suite of real estate investment strategies within the defined contribution channel.
“Tripp’s depth and breadth of experience within the defined contribution channel will reinforce and extend the firm’s relationships across the space,” said Lewis Ingall, Heitman senior managing director.
Added managing director James Gruver, “Real estate as an asset class offers investors a number of benefits within their portfolios, including low correlations with conventional asset classes and a hedge against inflation. We are excited to continue to offer DC investors access to public and private real estate investment opportunities, and look forward to Tripp adding his expertise in defined contribution solutions.”
Before joining Heitman, the Boston-based Braillard (pictured) was an SVP at PIMCO, focusing on the defined contribution investment only (DCIO) and insurance sub-advisory marketplaces.
