About Schroders Capital

Schroders’ $114 Billion Private Markets Arm

Schroders Capital is the private markets business of Schroders, with $113.7 billion in assets under management and more than 805 employees in 25 locations around the world as of 30 June 2026. CEO of Schroders Capital since November 2024 is Georg Wunderlin, who joined in 2019 to build the business. Rainer Ender, who heads the $29.7 billion private equity practice, and chief investment officer Nils Rode complete the senior team. The biggest change, however, is ownership. In February 2026 the board of Schroders recommended a £9.9 billion cash offer from Nuveen, the asset manager owned by US pension giant TIAA, which will end two centuries of Schroder family control. It is expected to create a roughly $2.5 trillion manager and to close in the fourth quarter of 2026.
