Pantheon has bolstered its real assets team with the hire of two vice-presidents and the promotion of its natural resources head, all of whom work on secondaries.
The global investment firm hired Dinesh Ramasamy and Samayita Das for its infrastructure and real assets unit from Goldman Sachs’ global natural resources group and JPMorgan’s energy investment banking group respectively, according to a statement.
Pantheon also promoted Evan Corley, head of natural resources, to partner in a bid to capitalise on its recent real assets “fundraising success”.
A 12-year veteran at Pantheon, Corley has been instrumental in growing its real assets platform, the firm said. The unit was launched in March 2015 and Pantheon says it has raised more than $1 billion from clients over the following 12 months.
“The strategy continues to experience significant demand, having set a fast pace in its first full year of fundraising,” the firm said.
Corley, Ramasamy and Das will all operate from Pantheon’s San Francisco outpost, which the firm opened in 1987.
The appointments came alongside a raft of operational hires the firm has made since the beginning of the year, in a bid to “support its strong business growth and expansion”.
Pantheon has amassed more than $3 billion for its latest secondaries fund, Pantheon Global Secondary Fund V, as Secondaries Investor reported in June. The fundraising includes more than $1 billion in additional capital alongside the main vehicle.
Pantheon is owned by New York-listed Affiliated Managers Group and senior members of the Pantheon team.
