Robert Koot

Director Asia-Pacific Investments

As Portfolio Analyst Asia-Pacific, you’ll join Bouwinvest’s Sydney-based investment team and work across a diverse portfolio of listed and unlisted real estate investments throughout the region.

You combine financial analysis, market intelligence and real estate data to help us make well-informed investment decisions. You’ll analyse both our existing portfolio and potential new investments, looking beyond the numbers to understand what really drives performance.

You’ll play an active role in quarterly forecasting, valuations and performance measurement. You analyse cash flows, returns, leverage and sensitivities and support investment and divestment proposals. You’ll also review business plans, annual reports, ESG information and local market data to identify risks and opportunities.

An important part of your role is connecting the dots. Together with our Portfolio Managers, Listed Analyst and Portfolio Operations & Transactions team, you compare markets, sectors and opportunities and contribute to an integrated approach across our listed and unlisted investments.

We expect you to think independently. You don’t accept an outcome simply because the spreadsheet works. You challenge assumptions, investigate inconsistencies and develop your own view before discussing your findings with the team.

What makes this position unique?

This role gives you broad exposure to real estate investing across Asia-Pacific. You won’t focus on just one market, sector or type of investment. You’ll work across different countries and both listed and unlisted real estate, giving you a broader perspective on how investment decisions affect the overall portfolio.

Because you’re part of a relatively small regional team, you’ll be involved from the start. You’ll work directly with experienced investment professionals in Sydney and collaborate closely with specialist teams in Amsterdam.

It’s also a role where curiosity matters. We don’t expect you to know everything from day one. We do expect you to ask questions, investigate before asking for the answer and speak up when something doesn’t make sense.

Working across Asia-Pacific means working with different markets, cultures and perspectives. Being open-minded, adaptable and able to communicate effectively with different stakeholders is therefore an important part of the role.

“Good analysis isn’t just about getting the numbers right. It’s about understanding what drives an investment, challenging assumptions and seeing how an opportunity fits into the wider portfolio.”

Meet the team

You’ll be part of our Asia-Pacific investment team in Sydney, a relatively small regional team that gives you broad exposure and responsibility from the start.

You’ll work closely with our Portfolio Managers, Listed Analyst and other investment professionals in Sydney, while collaborating with colleagues from Portfolio Operations & Transactions and specialist teams in Amsterdam.

The team is ambitious but collaborative. Sharing information, helping each other when deadlines are tight and taking ownership of both high-profile investment work and routine portfolio activities are all part of how we work.

That international collaboration also gives you the opportunity to learn from different perspectives while developing a broad understanding of Bouwinvest’s Asia-Pacific investment portfolio.

We work closely with a selected number of preferred recruitment partners. Therefore, unsolicited approaches from recruitment, staffing or temporary employment agencies are not appreciated.
