Henley Investment Management
Henley Investment Management was founded in London in 2006 as a full-service investment firm focused on alternative assets. The firm originates and manages private equity real estate opportunities for institutional investors, family offices and high-net-worth limited partners, deploying capital through a combination of discretionary funds, segregated mandates and single-purpose vehicles. Henley's investment strategy spans the full risk spectrum from opportunistic and value-add to core-plus and core. The firm pursues residential, commercial and alternative property sectors globally, with a bias toward situations involving arbitrage, distress or dislocation. A distinctive feature is the Secure Income Property Unit Trust, a fully discretionary vehicle with a 25-year life that closed in September 2021 for large pension funds seeking inflation-protected dividends. An evergreen successor, SIPUT 2, launched in 2022. Henley also provides equity capital to real estate entrepreneurs and backs early-stage ventures, with confirmed US residential exposure via the Halcyon Residences & Marina development in Naples, Florida. Headquartered in London, Henley is regulated by the UK's Financial Conduct Authority. The firm retains an in-house team of investors, developers and real estate professionals and partners with external operating partners to manage deal flow. SIPUT 2 launched in 2022 as an evergreen vehicle, and the firm plans additional discretionary closed-end funds and separately managed accounts across its strategy bands. No named principals or team-size figures are publicly available. Henley's structural differentiator lies in its combination of classic opportunistic real estate strategies with a long-duration, pension-oriented discretionary trust. Operating SIPUT alongside arbitrage-focused SPVs gives the firm anchors at both ends of the liquidity spectrum, a pairing uncommon among mid-market private equity real estate managers.

Frequently asked questions
How does Henley Investment Management source deal flow?
Henley originates investment opportunities through its in-house team of real estate professionals, developers and advisors, and it also partners with like-minded external operating partners. The firm targets situations where it can identify arbitrage, distress or dislocation, giving it a broad funnel across residential, commercial and alternative sectors globally.
What is the Secure Income Property Unit Trust and how does it fit into Henley's strategy?
SIPUT is a fully discretionary, 25-year-life fund launched in 2017 for large pension investors seeking regular, inflation-protected dividends. It closed in September 2021. An evergreen successor, SIPUT 2, launched in 2022, providing Henley with a long-duration, core-oriented vehicle that sits alongside its opportunistic and value-add SPVs.
Does Henley participate in fund commitments or only direct deals?
Henley structures investments through discretionary funds, segregated mandates and opportunity-specific SPVs. It does not operate as a fund-of-funds; rather, it acts as the principal investment manager executing direct real estate equity investments for its institutional and private limited partners.
Which sectors does Henley explicitly avoid?
Henley's public materials do not identify any real estate subsectors it explicitly avoids. The firm states it invests across residential, commercial and alternative sectors, with a particular focus on high-social-impact core strategies such as long-term social housing alongside its distress- and arbitrage-driven opportunistic investments.
Who runs investment decisions at Henley Investment Management?
Henley does not publicly name its senior management team or individual investment decision-makers. The firm describes an experienced, global in-house team of investors, operators and entrepreneurs that handles origination and management, but no specific principals are listed on its website.
