RPMI Railpen has appointed Anna Rule as head of property – a new role created as part of its in-house investment team expansion.
Rule (pictured) will join the £21bn scheme in the new year to develop its internal property investment capabilities and oversee relationships with external parties.
She previously worked at Aviva Investors where she was a senior director and fund manager responsible for mandates totalling £2.2bn comprising two segregated accounts. She was also responsible for Aviva Investors’ Pooled Pension Fund and launched two opportunity funds while at the manager.
Railpen investment director Richard Williams said: “I am delighted Anna is joining Railpen as head of property. Her appointment is an important step in further developing our in-house investment expertise so that we can strengthen our ability to deliver attractive investment returns for our members.
