De Chaisemartin is the 17th member of the team that originates, structures and manages infrastructure debt investments.
 
Aviva Investors, the global asset management business of insurer Aviva, has around £3.5 billion of infrastructure debt under management, with a focus on financing infrastructure assets in Europe.

“I am delighted to welcome Florian to Aviva Investors. We continue to expand our footprint across the infrastructure debt spectrum, with a number of major projects currently underway,” said Laurence Monnier, head of infrastructure debt.
 
“I am certain he will make a strong contribution to the team as we take these forward,” he added.
 
De Chaisemartin held infrastructure finance roles with major institutions including Standard and Poor’s, where he served as a credit ratings analyst and an associate dealing with infrastructure finance ratings.
 
He was also an associate director at DEPFA Bank, a Dublin-based German-Irish company. A part of the bank’s infrastructure and asset finance group, De Chaisemartin was involved in the monitoring and restructuring of distressed infrastructure sector debt portfolio.
