 Introduction
As you well know, our asset class is showing its strength and
depth in these current volatile market conditions.
The investor groups we serve continue to grow and diversify with
Core teams launching Core+ products, and indeed vice versa.
Some others are considering and have made moves into Credit,
Technology and Emerging Markets products also.
Against this backdrop this biannual report covering January to
June this year seeks to share visibility of the human capital flows
across European infrastructure investment platforms.
Aligned with those franchise growth strategies we have seen
some interesting promotions and succession planning take
place, notably at First State Investments. Our congratulations to
each of those highlighted here and the team at One Search look
forward to supporting you further as we enter the 2021 hiring
cycle.

Hiring Manager:
Martin Ewald, Managing Director
Candidate
Commentary
and Client
Allianz Global Investors announced the launch of the Allianz Impact Investment Fund
(AIIF), its first multi asset private market impact fund, in 2019. The fund aims to leverage
the potential of the rapidly expanding impact investing sector, worth 502bn USD
globally, by putting institutional investor capital to work in projects which generate
measurable, positive impact, investing across equity and debt opportunities in sectors
such as energy efficiency, sustainable land use and agriculture. AllianzGI manages
around EUR 6bn of impact investments, with a long track record in sustainable
investing and ESG research.
“As more investors look to allocate capital with the intention of achieving a defined and
measurable result rather than just a financial one, the impact sector looks set to
experience continued growth.” Martin Ewald, Lead Portfolio Manager Impact
Investments. The team were looking for an experienced individual to carry out debt
transactions, supporting the efforts of the team in originating and executing Impact
investment opportunities, with a Pan-European focus.
People Moves Report - EMEA, H1 2020 | Moves to Credit
Why was this opportunity of interest to you? 
I liked this opportunity for several reasons. In the first place, I was
attracted by AllianzGI’s reputation in the asset management
industry. Secondly, I was particularly interested in the Impact
Investment scope of the role. Finally, during the interviewing
process I not only confirmed that there is a very professional and
experienced team in the Alternatives Investments Group, but also
that the Impact Investments Team would be an extremely good
fit for me and a great opportunity for my career.
Why was this fund of interest to you? 
I liked three aspects of the fund: (i) the impact scope, (ii)
multi-asset investment strategy, (iii) growth potential of the
Impact Investment Strategy.
  
Has it always been a career aspiration to transition into a
fund opportunity?
 
I wouldn’t say it has always been my aspiration. However, having
spent several years on the sell side covering different sectors in
the credit space, I was ready to transition to an investment role
which would give me the opportunity to develop new skills,
whilst at the same time utilising my previous banking experience.
 
How did you find the process? 
It was an extensive and intense process which included multiple
stages. I was able to meet the majority of the Impact Investments
and Infrastructure Debt teams, which was very helpful to
understand the culture and work environment. Overall, I found
the process well organized and efficient.
