#21 Lloyd Lee, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Yoo Capital

Lloyd Lee is the Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Yoo Capital. He has over 24 years of experience in real estate private equity and principal investing and has been involved in £12 billion of real estate acquisitions, public and private corporate opportunities, special situations and asset management turnarounds across the UK, Europe, US and emerging markets.   He graduated from both Harvard and Cornell University and has worked at Starwood Capital and Marathon Asset Management before setting up Yoo Capital with serial entrepreneur, John Hitchcox.   I sat down with Lloyd to discuss a broad range of subjects which covered some of the following topics:

• Having an Internal compass
• Setting up international offices
• Elephant hunting*
• Why BIG deals matter to institutional capital
• London Real Estate opportunities
• Contrarian investing
• Oh and one last question - who are the People, what Property, and in which Place Lloyd would invest should he have £500m of equity at his disposal
