Akers, who joined Shaftesbury's main board back in 2005 following his appointment as managing director of the firm's retail portfolio, purchased the shares on Tuesday at an average price of 810.38p each, for a total value of £16,207.60.
Back in May, Shaftesbury said robust demand and consumer spending had boosted its half-year income, defying woes that had hit the retail sector due to Brexit.
Shaftesbury said net property income rose 5.2% to £48.6m on the back of a 6.4% like-for-like rise in rents, while pre-tax profit slumped 69% to £38.7m as property value growth declined.
As of 1620 BST, Shaftesbury shares had dipped 0.50% to 812p.
