(HONG KONG, S.A.R.) – Hines, the global real estate investment, development, and property manager, today announced the appointment of Tim Jowett as managing director, head of Asia research. In this new role, Jowett will leverage Hines’ proprietary research framework, including spot price-based return forecasts as well as next-gen risk and locational analytics among other tools. His work will support business and investment opportunities across the region and for the firm’s Asia-focused funds.

His responsibilities over this career have spanned all aspects of private equity investment including research, acquisition, asset management, portfolio management, and capital raising.
Prior to joining Hines, Jowett was at Grosvenor Asia where he was managing director and head of Greater China for several years following his role as director of investment strategy and analysis.
