The Investment Advisory (IA) Team works with institutional, financial, public sector, family office and property company clients to develop tailored solutions designed to meet their specific business and investment objectives. In recent years we have identified family offices and insurance companies as being the strongest potential growth areas in terms of our investor client profiles.
We work in partnership with our clients, knowing that each one is unique and requires a bespoke level of service and advice. Our specialist Team leverages decades of experience and expertise to find our clients the right opportunities, and we have an enviable track record in helping our clients achieve their investment objectives whatever they are.
We work with our CBRE Capital Markets teams, as well our broad agency network, to deliver the best on and off market opportunities for our clients. Our relationships and track record means we cover the whole market and as such our success rate is very high. Our Team’s diverse skillset means we can also advise our clients whether they invest through equity or debt, both directly and indirectly.
This role focuses on supporting the more senior members of the Team on running our existing retained mandates and supporting on new business development initiatives.
