James Lass, Head of Operational Real Estate, Swiss Life Asset Managers UK

Swiss Life Asset Managers has more than 125 years’ of experience as a real estate investment manager in Europe. In the UK, they provide three principal investment services to a broad investor base – UK Core funds, UK Separate Accounts and Joint Ventures and UK Value add Strategies.

Prior to joining Swiss Life James worked at Schroder’s as a Fund Manager responsible for the Schroder UK Real Estate Fund. He started his career at Allsop, before moving to Savills.

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

Operational real estate

View on the market

Where values lie

Growth areas

Advice he would give to those entering the market

Taking risks in your career

Closing the skill gap – moving from agency to the principal side

Role of a Fund Manager

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

Catch the full episode which will be live on Spotify, Apple and Youtube from Thursday this week.
