Aviva Investors strengthens real assets research team with a double hire




Aviva Investors has bolstered its real assets research team with the appointment of Viktor Dietrich as research director and Rebecca Crocker as research analyst.

Viktor returns to Aviva — following a previous role in the firm’s global REIT team between 2019 and 2021 — and leaves his most recent role as an equity analyst at Patrizia within its infrastructure team.

He has seven years of industry experience having started his career at Timbercreek Asset Management in Zurich, Switzerland as part of its global real estate securities team.

Rebecca joins the company from American Express after spending the past six months as a senior financial analyst focused on investment optimisation.


She also spent three years as a DC investment analyst at Hymans Robertson.

Both Viktor and Rebecca will report directly to David Hedalen, head of real assets research at the firm (pictured above).

David commented: “We are happy to welcome both Rebecca and Viktor to the real assets research team.

“I believe the experience Rebecca and Viktor offer from across asset classes, geographies and investor groups will be invaluable as we continue to support the investment strategies and products across the full breadth of the business.”
