Schroders to found an asset management firm in Paris dedicated to infrastructure
The asset management firm Schroders will set up an asset management firm in Paris. An announcement published in the newspaper Les Echos by Michael Dobson, CEO of the group, has been confirmed. The new team will potentially include 10 people, and will specialise in management of infrastructure. “This range is position to financing and refinancing existing infrastructure,” Karine Szenberg, head of the sales office in Paris, comments. Although the new recruits are under French employment contracts, like the rest of the Paris office, they will both report to Philippe Lespinard, head of fixed income based in London, the newspaper reports. The product range will continue to be in the form of advising mandates for several major investors in the market, and will eventually be broken down in the form of funds for smaller sized institutional investors.
