Ross

I believe the answer is:

gem

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a valued acquisition' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to property as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?

'in management' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'GEM' is hidden within 'management'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for gem that I've seen before include "one of the Cairngorms?" , "Valued person; jewel" , "Valuable stone" , "A jewel of an Orangeman" , "36 Across or any other jewel" .)
