Anna Clare Harper is joined by Hayley Rees, Managing Director at £50bn+ Pension Insurance Corporation.

In Anna’s words: 

There’s lots of advice for private investors.
Almost nothing on how big institutions back UK housing.
Yet it’s a major growth area.

So I asked Hayley (MD at £50bn+ insurer PIC) what actually works.

We covered:

  • How to choose investments: Compare returns to UK government bonds (gilts). Avoid 10 year projects, as there’s a lot of competition for 10 year money. Look for ‘relative value’ - extra returns over 20-30 years.

  • How to structure deals: Set them up to pay steady, long-term income that matches pension promises.

  • Case study – Miller’s Quay: A simple lease helped unlock 500 homes.

  • Fix viability first: The hardest thing today is making the numbers work before you start. Teams who solve this win.
