#107 Iyngaran Muniandy, Head of Europe at Clear Sky Capital

Iyngaran joined Clear Sky in late 2023 and serves as Head of Europe. He has 15 years of experience in both equity and structured finance across traditional and operational real estate.

Prior to joining Clear Sky Capital, Iyngaran deployed over $3B worth of capital across Europe, APAC and US at prior firm, Macquarie Principal Finance.

Previous to that, he was an Associate at Greenhill & Co and qualified as a Chartered Accountant with Ernst & Young whilst working in their Restructuring division.

I sat down with Iyngaran to discuss a broad range of subjects which covered some of the following topics:

  

·   Early career journey and the pivotal skills gained along the way

·   How he got into real estate sector

·   The nuances and discipline of balance sheet investing

·   Insights into principal investing vs investment management

·   The story behind Clear Sky Capital and how he joined

·   Opportunity set in the UK & European self-storage market

·   Strategic advantages of a vertically integrated business model

·   Why backing sectors with strong tailwinds often trumps contrarian investing

·   Why twice a year, he works as a receptionist in store.

·   Key skills top tier investors need to learn

·   Current market trends and his perspective on today’s real estate landscape

 

Oh and one last question - who are the People, what Property, and in which Place Iyngaran would invest should he have £500m of capital at his disposal.
