Managers and proposed mandates will need to be able to comply with LGPS regulations.

The mandate will be focussed on a combination senior secured direct and whole loans, lending against commercial real estate in the UK and/or Europe.

The mandate size will range between GBP200m and GBP500m depending on how it combines with other debt mandates. Glasgow City Council reserves the right to alter the value and coverage of the mandate both initially and over the period of the mandate.
