The $44 billion Employees Retirement System of Texas recently promoted Simon Mok to be its director of private real estate.
Mok had been a portfolio manager on ERS’ Private Real Estate Team for nearly seven years. He replaced Amy Cureton, who became managing director of real assets in September.
“Simon has been a tremendous resource during his time at ERS and brings tremendous experience, knowledge and insights to this leadership role within the Private Real Estate Team,” CIO David Veal said in a statement. “ERS is highly focused on advancing capable and experienced personnel within the organization, and I know Simon will make significant contributions to the Private Real Estate Team and the Trust overall in this role.”
As director of private real estate, Mok oversees approximately 10% of ERS Trust assets.
Mok has more than 20 years of global investment experience. Before joining ERS, he held senior roles at Franklin Real Asset Advisors and AIG Global Real Estate.
