Global Investment Institute congratulates Tracey Whitby on her promotion to Chief Executive Officer at Aware Real Estate (ARE).
ARE was launched by Aware Super to grow its directly-owned Australian property portfolio and has A$2.5 billion assets under management. Aware Super manages a A$190 billion portfolio on behalf of the Fund’s 1.2 million members.
Tracey has been acting as Interim CEO for the last six months, with the appointment effective from 1 June 2025.
ARE Chair, Rod Fehring said the ARE Board was impressed by Tracey’s leadership, including the way she has developed ARE’s strategic settings during a period of global market volatility and uncertainty.
“During this time, Tracey has demonstrated a methodical and collaborative approach to the refinement of ARE’s direct property investment strategy with solid investment returns also reported during this period,” he said.
“In addition, she has actively engaged with all stakeholders to sharpen ARE’s focus on achieving appropriate risk adjusted returns over the medium and longer-term investment horizon.”
Tracey joined ARE in October 2022 as Chief Financial Officer and brings over 20 years of experience in senior executive and CFO roles across leading property investment and management firms, including more recently as CFO of Lincoln Place Lifestyle Communities.
Tracey is a Chartered Accountant and holds a Graduate Diploma in Applied Finance from FINSIA.
We wish Tracey all the best in her new role and continued success to the team at ARE.
