Orchard Street Investment Management

What Orchard Street Investment Management does

Orchard Street Investment Management LLP is a London-based, specialist UK commercial property investment manager founded in 2004. The firm acts on a discretionary basis for institutional clients worldwide, advising on the investment and active management of UK commercial property assets across industrial, retail warehousing, office, and alternative sectors, and reports assets under management of £2.7 billion as at 30 June 2024.

The firm operates a multi-product platform comprising three pooled fund strategies — the UK Decarbonisation Impact Fund, the Social and Environmental Impact Partnership Fund (which carries the FCA's Sustainability Impact Label), and the UK Special Situations Fund — alongside segregated mandates, joint ventures, third-party asset management, and regulated investment management and advisory services delivered through its wholly-owned FCA-authorised subsidiary, OSIA (FRN 461061). Differentiated offerings include a proprietary Impact Framework that guides decarbonisation-led asset management (solar PV, EV charging, electrification, EPC upgrades) and an active asset management approach that combines quantitative forecasting with hands-on partner involvement. The firm is a PRI signatory, NZAM Initiative member, TCFD supporter, and BBP member, with a stated 2030 net zero carbon commitment.

Orchard Street is a privately-held limited liability partnership owned by its partners, with 11–50 employees, a single London office, and a relationship-driven, partner-led go-to-market targeting pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, wealth managers, and Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) Pools. Revenue is generated primarily through recurring management fees on segregated mandates and pooled funds, plus regulated advisory fees from OSIA; pricing is individually negotiated and not publicly disclosed.
