Schroders Capital hires global head of business development and product
Schroders Capital, the private markets arm of Schroders Group, has appointed Ingo Heinen as global head of business development and product.
In this newly-created role, Heinen will lead the evolution of Schroders’ products and solutions, and spearhead Schroders Capital’s private markets fundraising efforts worldwide.
Heinen previously held the role of head of marketing and client relations, EMEA, at alternative asset manager Intermediate Capital Group (ICG). At ICG, he led the fundraising team across EMEA and was responsible for raising capital across private and liquid credit, private equity, real estate and infrastructure.

He held roles at RBS, Nomura, and Merrill Lynch earlier in his career.
Schroders Capital generated $11.6bn of fundraising across a range of private market products last year, including private debt.
“Ingo’s hire marks an important milestone, underpinning Schroders Capital’s growth ambitions in private markets as we aim to deliver the best investment solutions for our clients across the world,” said Georg Wunderlin, global head of private assets at Schroders Capital.

“Ingo brings a wealth of business development and product experience from the top-tier of our industry and his arrival will greatly bolster our business at a time when investors globally are increasingly allocating to private markets to enhance the quality of their investment portfolios.”
Heinen said: “I am delighted to join Schroders Capital at a very exciting time; the business is at an inflection point having grown extensively over the past five years and this momentum is set to accelerate further as clients increasingly look to Schroders Capital for their private markets investment needs. I am looking forward to delivering the client perspective to Schroders Capital’s investment engine and to delivering Schroders Capital to private markets allocators globally in partnership with the existing teams.”
Schroders Capital has been expanding its team of late. Earlier this month, it appointed Allen Chilten as its new global head of real estate capital formation, as it looks to expand its direct real estate relationships with institutional investors across key regions, including Europe, North America, and Australasia.
