Reckoner Capital Management Appoints Shirley Cheng as Managing Director, Commercial Real Estate
NEW YORK, June 03, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Reckoner Capital Management, a global asset management firm with specialized expertise in alternative credit, announced today that the firm has appointed Shirley Cheng as Managing Director to lead the firm’s Commercial Real Estate (CRE) strategy.
Cheng will focus on commercial real estate investments that complement Reckoner’s current alternative credit strategies. She brings over 20 years of experience in commercial real estate investment management across the capital stack.
“We’ve always viewed CRE as a core credit strategy, and now we have an experienced professional in the space who can better position us to seek attractive risk-adjusted yields for our investors,” said John Kim, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer at Reckoner Capital Management. “Our investment team has CRE experience that precedes the founding of Reckoner; however, we were seeking a leader in the CRE space with an established track record and deep underwriting capability, and Shirley brings that to the table.”
Cheng joins Reckoner from J.P. Morgan Asset Management, where she served as an Executive Director, running a multibillion-dollar book of CRE assets. In this role, she managed exposure and sector allocation decisions across structured product portfolios, developed proprietary credit models, and led underwriting and property-level due diligence for new investments. Prior to J.P. Morgan, Cheng served as Head of Structured Real Estate Debt at Genworth Financial. She also previously worked at Nuveen Real Estate, Deloitte, and UBS.
