Asset Manager - Long Income Funds

The Real Assets long income funds incorporating the Annuity Portfolio and LPI Fund have over £9bn invested in a diversified cross sector of UK property equity assets incorporating alternative asset classes. The funds have become fully established over the last ten years, are a core product in the Real Assets stable and continue to have significant growth aspirations over the next few years. They are consequently regarded as flagship funds for the Real Assets business.

This is a new opportunity through growth where the successful candidate will have the benefit of working on two of Real Assets growing long income property equity funds with plenty of scope for career development in a challenging and rewarding role.

The position is for a self-motivated and proactive asset manager who will lead on all asset management for their respective assets across the funds, which will predominantly be in the core sectors although there will be scope to manage assets in other classes. There will be the opportunity to become involved in a wide range of Fund activities.

• Liaising with the Credit team on individual tenant names and support the Credit rating process.
