Lane is based in New York, where he will be focused on the performance and expansion of Pretium's single-family rental (SFR) vehicles.
He joins Pretium after nearly ten years at Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA), most recently as Deputy Head of Americas, Real Estate.

Prior to ADIA, Lane served as Vice President in the global opportunity funds group at Deutsche Bank. He began his career at Deloitte in the audit group before moving to the real estate consulting group.
On his new role, Lane said: "I look forward to working with the exceptional team at Pretium, leveraging my global institutional expertise to create value, identify new opportunities and support our diversified and growing investor base and clients around the world."
