Anrev, the Asian Association for Investors in Non-listed Real Estate Vehicles, has secured Inrev’s Andrea Carpenter for a three-month secondment.

Carpenter, director of professional standards and communications for Inrev, will move to Hong Kong from October 2010 to work alongside the Anrev senior management team.

During her secondment, she will help implement the co-operation agreement between the two organisations, which was announced last December. Under this co-operation, Anrev is endorsing the Inrev guidelines in Asia and replicating Inrev initiatives such as the Vehicles Database and programme of research projects. 

Carpenter will use her experience from her three years with Inrev to help put in place an online vehicles database for the region and support initiatives to improve understanding and adoption of the Inrev guidelines such as workshops and training courses. 

Nick Loup, chairman of Anrev and chief executive of Grosvenor Asia Pacific, says: “Andrea is arriving at the end of a big year for Anrev when membership has been growing steadily and significant progress has been made with the roll out of the Inrev guidelines, the funds database and fund managers survey, all of which are important steps towards our goals of improving transparency and best practice standards in Asia. Andrea’s experience in and success with driving these projects for Inrev will accelerate our progress in the region, as well as further strengthening our ties with our sister organisation.”
