MD at £50bn Insurer: How I Invest

Send us a Text Anna Clare Harper is joined by Hayley Rees, Managing Director at £50bn+ Pension Insurance Corporation. In Anna’s words: There’s lots of advice for private investors. Almost nothing on how big institutions back UK housing. Yet it’s a major growth area. So I asked Hayley (MD at £50bn+ insurer PIC) what actually works. We covered: How to choose investments: Compare returns to UK government bonds (gilts). Avoid 10 year projects, as there’s a lot of competition for 10 year money. Look for ‘relative value’ - extra returns over 20-30 years. How to structure deals: Set them up to pay steady, long-term income that matches pension promises. Case study – Miller’s Quay: A simple lease helped unlock 500 homes. Fix viability first: The hardest thing today is making the numbers work before you start. Teams who solve this win.
