Opportunistic Private Markets Asset Allocation - Investment Management Services

Dundee City Council (the Council) as administering authority for the Tayside Pension Fund (the Fund) is launching this procurement for an investment manager to manage 50% of the Fund’s opportunistic portfolio, which forms 10% of the Fund’s assets (this represents 5% of the value of the Fund, circa GBP 250–GBP 290 million). The Fund is seeking a new mandate to compliment an existing alternatives mandate that would invest across a range of private market asset classes (including private equity, private infrastructure, private debt and private real estate debt). The Fund requires a proportion of the assets to be invested in the UK with a focus in Scotland (investments within Scotland are anticipated to be in the region of at least 10-20% of the total mandate). As well as geographical preferences, environmental and social impact are also key priorities of the mandate, and consideration should be given.
