Gregory Eudicone
Head of global real estate client portfolio management at Barings
Gregory Eudicone has been at the forefront of Barings’ real estate growth in his nearly decade-long run at the global investment manager, and is looking to take it to even greater heights following two big merger moves.
Eudicone, who was promoted to his global role in October 2024, was part of a Barings team that raised more than $2 billion in new commitments across its real estate platform for the 12-month period ending March 31.
Barings, a subsidiary of MassMutual, positioned itself to expand its global real estate platform with the acquisition of Artemis Real Estate Partners as part of a deal that closed in the first quarter of 2025. Artemis’ more than $11 billion in holdings brought Barings’ assets under management to $64 billion. That deal came on the heels of Barings acquiring Australian real estate firm Altis Property Partners in late 2022.
In addition to growing Barings’ AUM, Eudicone has also led efforts to make the real estate credit business more third party than its roots in serving MassMutual’s balance sheet. Under Eudicone, Barings has changed the composition of its real estate credit business from around 90 percent MassMutual in 2016 to around 60 percent today.
“That change of 40 percent now being third party, up from 10 percent, is quite significant in terms of AUM,” Eudicone said. “We want to be a very strong fiduciary for all of our investors, including MassMutual, but that composition of AUM change has been quite notable.”
Barings’ commercial real estate investments are largely concentrated in the U.S., but Eudicone has also been targeting value-add opportunities in Europe this year given some of the market uncertainties that have come into focus since President Donald Trump’s global tariffs announcement on April 2. As for asset classes, Eudicone’s team is focused on the residential and industrial sectors along with self-storage, health care and medical offices.
