Job Description
LGT Capital Partner's infrastructure strategy invests across three strategies: Primary Fund Commitments, Secondary investments (both LP-led and GP-led secondaries), and Direct Co-Investments. The strategy is focused on Core Plus and Value Add infrastructure where the team finds attractive risk-adjusted return opportunities and the greatest ability to leverage the broader LGT Capital Partners Private Equity Platform. For that reason the infrastructure team, while dedicated to the asset class, sits within the Private Equity Investment Management team. The business manages both a flagship fund offering that focuses on Secondaries and Co-investments, and a series of mandates with varying investment strategies.
Due to expected growth in the market and plans to launch the next iteration of its flagship fund series, the LGT Capital Partners infrastructure team is looking to add an experienced Associate Director [or Executive Director] to its team based in Pfaffikon (SZ), Switzerland.
The successful candidate will be an integral part of a small but growing dedicated infrastructure team, which originates, assesses, executes and monitors infrastructure investments across all three strategies (Primaries, Secondaries, and Co-investments).
Key aspects of the job include:
Maintain and build LGT CP's network and relationships with infrastructure managers and transaction intermediaries on a global basis in order to drive high quality deal flow;
Oversee transaction due diligence across the full lifecycle of investments, and across all three investment strategies (Primaries, Secondaries, and Co-investments);
Work together with junior deal team members to produce high quality investment due diligence and investment recommendations;
Present investment recommendations to LGT CP's Investment Committee and to LGT CP's client base;
Contribute to a positive team culture and proactively progress tasks in pursuit of the team's goals;
Participate in portfolio construction and program management.
Requirements
University degree, preferably in finance, business or engineering from a top-tier university and an excellent academic track record;
