LIP Invest strengthens management team with David Zimmermann amid fund expansion

LIP Invest, a leading provider of special real estate funds in Germany’s logistics sector, has expanded its management team by appointing David Zimmermann as an authorised signatory. This move reinforces the company’s strategic focus on growth and investor relations, further strengthening its position in the market.

As Director Institutional Clients, Zimmermann oversees more than 60 existing investors while driving the distribution of new fund products and the acquisition of additional institutional investors across the DACH region. A 38-year-old capital market expert and banking economist, he joined LIP at the beginning of 2024 after spending 20 years at Sparkasse Miltenberg-Obernburg, where he served as Head of Investments and Deputy Head of Trading. His expertise includes strategic investment management, private banking, and institutional client advisory.

Sebastian Betz, Managing Director and Partner at LIP Invest, emphasized Zimmermann’s dedication and impact within the company, highlighting his pivotal role in investor relations. Given his commitment and leadership, LIP saw it as a natural step to integrate him more closely into company management.

LIP’s logistics fund portfolio continues to expand, now comprising 61 properties with a total rental area exceeding 1.4 million square metres. The company’s latest logistics fund has already secured its first investors, benefiting from a pipeline of over €300 million in assets. With logistics real estate remaining a highly attractive asset class for German investors, the fund remains open to institutional participants, including insurance companies, pension funds, banks, savings banks, church institutions, and foundations.

As LIP Invest continues to grow its institutional client base and fund portfolio, Zimmermann’s appointment reflects its commitment to strengthening leadership and enhancing investor engagement in a competitive real estate market.
