('MG Capital', the "Group" or the "Company"), the premier real estate private equity investment manager specializing in Manhattan luxury residential properties, announced today the appointment of Joanna Koutsos as Group COO with immediate effect. She will join the team at MG Capital's headquarters in New York.

Joanna will be responsible not only for MG Capital, but for the newly formed Manhattan Residential Income Group ('MRIG') where her operational oversight will provide invaluable guidance for the growth of the Group's global footprint.

The firm led the implementation of various high-profile global change programs for distinguished clients in a variety of sectors and specializations, including Deutsche Bank and Citigroup.

Joanna's key responsibilities across the organization are to build and maintain a regulatory framework that will carry the group through its growth ambitions. Her past leadership in Operations Project Management and Risk & Controls for major institutional investors has given her an unparalleled level of expertise, which will help MG Capital continue to ensure it meets its daily fiduciary obligations at this pivotal stage in the Company's growth.

Eric Malley, Chief Investment Officer- "As we dial up our presence in foreign markets, it is great to add such an experienced and trusted regulatory executive who has a long standing multi-faceted relationship across MG Capital.

We are delighted to have her join the executive management team for our new venture MRIG and have strong confidence that she will be instrumental in extending our presence even further into international markets. We look forward to providing further updates as our plans progress."

Joanna Koutsos, Group COO – "MG Capital's strategy is extremely compelling with tremendous opportunity for growth. I look forward to ensuring that MG Capital's growth plans in markets beyond the U.S. are executed with operational excellence while helping the Company to navigate the complexities of a rigorous regulatory environment."
