The context: Weate will replace the existing fund manager of DXI Gordon Korkie who will stay with the fund as deputy fund manager.
Korkie had commenced as DXI fund manager in February 2024 after more than two and a half years as DXI's assistant fund manager.
Weate is currently the fund manager for the Dexus Convenience Retail REIT (DXC), which he has held since joining the company in 2022.

What they said: “Jason’s extensive experience within direct property and A-REIT capital markets will benefit DXI as it strives to deliver its next phase of growth,” Dexus executive general manager, funds management, Michael Sheffield said.
“We thank Gordon for his continued role in the evolution of DXI to a focused Australian industrial REIT.”
Sheffield also said “the appointments demonstrate our commitment to succession planning across the Platform”.
