Welcome back…

Carsten Probst joins the management team of HEICO Investment Management.

HEICO Investment Management has strengthened its team. Carsten Probst will join Thorsten Beckmann as Managing Director, jointly leading the investment company. In his role, he will primarily focus on developing new mandates and funds, as well as the strategic direction and optimization of existing processes.

Carsten Probst is no stranger to HEICO. In 2015, he was a founding partner and managing director of HEICO Investment Management, where, in addition to fund management, he was primarily responsible for real estate acquisition and financing. It was in this context that our advisory mandate for the retail real estate fund of a German insurance group was established. For personal reasons, he relocated to Berlin in 2018. There, he continued his real estate activities in the investment advisory segment for institutional investors through his company Fundreal. He also focused on supporting startups in future-oriented technologies, such as vertical indoor farming, EdTech for adaptive learning environments, and artificial intelligence.

HEICO Investment Management GmbH, based in Wiesbaden, is a specialized real estate investment manager and part of the HEICO Group. Since 2015, the company has been developing and managing real estate funds for institutional investors. HEICO covers the entire value chain – from transaction management and ongoing commercial and technical asset and fund management to revitalization and project development measures according to ESG criteria. The focus is on retail properties serving essential needs, particularly supermarkets and retail parks, with investment volumes ranging from approximately €2 million to €20 million per property.

Individual fund solutions under German and Luxembourg law, as well as the integration of ESG criteria, particularly in the areas of sustainability and decarbonization, are central components of the company's strategy.
