Alpha is a specialist real assets investment manager focused on secure income strategies with over £4 billion of assets under management. They invest in UK and European assets with predictable secure long term cash flows – these investments cover commercial ground rents, UK renewable infrastructure, social real estate and secured lending, combining operational real estate expertise and fixed income skills. Anne is an experienced fund manager and has worked at Aegon Asset Management, Aviva and Schroders in one guise or another. She studied Land Management and Development at Reading University and is a Chartered Surveyor, and even finds the time to sit on the AREF Corporate Governance Committee. I sat down with Anne to discuss a broad range of subjects which covered some of the following topics:
- How she got into Real Estate
- NOIR (Not Office, Industrial or Retail)
- Impact investing
- Niches within niches
- Oh, and one last question - who are the People, what Property, and in which Place Anne would invest should she have £500m of equity at her disposal.
