Hastings Media Announcement
26 November 2014
HASTINGS ANNOUNCES TWO SENIOR EXECUTIVE APPOINTMENTS
MELBOURNE: Leading global infrastructure manager Hastings announced two senior executive
appointments today as it positions itself for the significant infrastructure activity in Australia and in its
international markets over the next several years.
Firstly Peter Siapikoudis, currently Portfolio Manager for The Infrastructure Fund (TIF), will move to a
newly created role as Portfolio Manager, Australian Mandates. Secondly Jonathan van Rooyen will assume
the role of Portfolio Manager for The Infrastructure Fund.
The newly created role of Portfolio Manager, Australian Mandates positions Hastings to further provide
investors access to the strong infrastructure pipeline that will exist in Australia as the Government
accelerates its privatisation agenda. It allows investors the choice of accessing unlisted infrastructure
through one of Hastings-managed two cornerstone Funds (UTA or TIF) or to invest alongside these funds
on a bespoke basis.
Peter Siapikoudis is well suited to lead the Australian Mandates business given his investment and
portfolio management expertise in building the TIF business over the past six years to $1.7 billion
(November 14) from $280 million (March 08). Over this time, Peter was instrumental in establishing a
diversified portfolio for TIF through his involvement in the Fund’s successful acquisition of eight new
assets and contribution to consecutive successful capital raisings. Whilst managing TIF, Peter has also
held various asset management responsibilities within Hastings and has been a director on a number of
boards including Port of Newcastle, Envirogen, Hancock Victorian Plantations and Tiaki Plantations.
Jonathan van Rooyen will take over the role of Portfolio Manager of TIF. In 2013, Jonathan led the
establishment of a dedicated airport investment fund with the National Pension Service of Korea and is
currently the Portfolio Manager responsible for the fund. With Hastings he has been a Director on the M5
and M4 toll roads and a Director on Envirogen. He has been a key player in developing the Hastings Asia
strategy and was instrumental to securing TIF’s first international investor from Korea, the Military Mutual
Aid Association.
TIF is well positioned to take advantage of both the Australian and international capital appetite of
investors looking for Core Plus returns in the developed markets TIF invests.
Hastings CEO Andrew Day, commented that these changes will give a wider range of Investors access to
the Australian infrastructure pipeline. “Hastings is keen to broaden its investment vehicles to represent a
more flexible approach to infrastructure investment in Australia. We are fortunate to have someone of
Peter Siapikoudis’ significant expertise to spearhead Hastings’ mandate business in Australia. I am also
very pleased to be able to recruit both roles internally, showing the depth and breadth of the Hastings
team. These new roles take effect 1 January 2015 to allow a seamless handover from Peter to Jonathan
into the role of Portfolio Manager of TIF”.
Hastings has an impressive record in Australia and internationally in buying and managing infrastructure
assets most recently having purchased the Port of Newcastle and Porterbrook in the UK, both involving
TIF investments. Our ability to attract both Australian and international investment partners and the
ability to work with many stakeholders is providing a performance edge for our investors.
2
Chairman of TIF’s Trustee board, Mr Bob Lette, acknowledged the significant achievements made by Mr
Siapikoudis since he joined Hastings, not the least of which has been his steady contribution to TIF’s
annualised 15.1%pa and 16.3%pa returns (after fees) over five-year and 10-year intervals,
respectively. The TPCG board look forward to welcoming Jonathan to his new role.
