London-based fund manager Schroders has hired a second former executive at rival Aberdeen Asset Management's European real estate business based in Sweden. Ubbe Strihagen, previously head of international marketing at Aberdeen Property Investors, becomes head of Nordic sales for Schroders.

Strihagen's move to Schroders, effective on October 1, follows the hire of API's former head of fund management in Finland, Christoffer Sundberg, in July. At Schroders, Sundberg has been made head of the Nordic real estate investment business.
