Job Description
HAPEV's Portfolio Management Team manages the investments of one of Germany's leading corporate pension plans. A team of twelve investment professionals run assets of more than EUR 12bn, out of which more than 2 bn are allocated to private equity and private debt strategies.
Key factors of HAPEV's success story are our ambitions, entrepreneurship, team spirit, creativity and agility. They continuously drive us in our hunt for new investment ideas and solutions to challenges arising in global capital markets.
