The Molpus Woodlands Group has been nominated with two other managers by Money Management Intelligence magazine as Real Assets Manager of the Year.

Molpus has recently increased its managed assets, including raised capital, to approximately $1.76 billion. This year’s nominees will be honored at the annual ceremony in San Diego on March 25, 2012.

Edgar Marshall, Vice President of Business Development for Molpus, stated, “We are genuinely pleased and honored to be nominated alongside Blackstone Group and UBS as Real Asset Managers of the Year for the U.S. by Money Management Intelligence magazine.”
