English translation of the original German press release.

The Arminius Group ('Arminius'), an independent transaction, asset and fund manager with a focus on sustainable commercial real estate, has appointed Juan Miguel Giersberg (61) as Head of Investor Relations effective 1 March 2022. His focus is on expanding business relationships with institutional investors and family offices and expanding Arminius' range of investment products.

Before joining Arminius, Giersberg worked for Hauck Aufhäuser Lampe Privatbank AG in Frankfurt, where he was responsible for the expansion of real estate investment management and institutional investor relations. Previously, he held various senior positions at Deutsche Investment, RBS Plc/ABNAmro N.V. and Goldman Sachs.

Christian Molter, founding partner of Arminius, said: 'Juan Miguel Giersberg is a proven real estate and investor relations specialist.

He has a broad, long-standing network of contacts with institutional investors and family offices in Germany and abroad. With his extensive experience, he will actively support the further expansion of our product range and the diversification of our investor base.

Arminius is planning further fund products with a 'Manage to Sustainability' approach for the previous focus on office properties, but also other property types and risk profiles. Arminius' holistic view of ESG, according to which the areas of social (S) and governance (G) are just as important as environment (E), has been incorporated into the conception of its own ESG tools. The self-developed scoring model quantifies all relevant ESG criteria and was funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research due to its unique features. The tool has been used in practice since 2020 and makes all relevant E, S and G criteria measurable across the entire portfolio. This makes it possible to define transparent goals for the ESG development of a property.
