What we do
Setting investment strategy is the most important financial decision a pension committee will make. Our team of LGPS investment strategy experts have the latest solutions and insight to help you make the right decision.
In this new era, many LGPS funds have a funding surplus. As aims change from closing a deficit to trying to remain fully funded, investment strategies must adapt. Similarly, many funds are in a negative cashflow position and now need to find money from the assets to pay pensions. We can help with cashflow modelling.
Climate change is a material risk to the long-term nature of the LGPS. But the LGPS can also benefit from the investment opportunities financing the move to a greener economy.
Our expert team of climate change consultants can help with training, setting beliefs, establishing ambitions and targets, creating action plans, testing against different climate scenarios and monitoring progress.
As a purpose-led B Corp certified firm, we care deeply about climate change. We’re delighted to share our expertise and experience to help your fund make a difference.
The government has made it clear that the LGPS in England and Wales needs to pool its assets. Pooling has fantastic potential benefits, however it’s not easy to achieve. We can help you pool, using expertise developed from working across all eight pools. We can help with oversight, solutions and feedback to help shape your pool to deliver your objectives.
The government is showing a strong interest in the LGPS and is increasing pressure to invest in the UK and pool assets. Our vast LGPS exposure and deep understanding of the context can help you stay ahead of the game, with tailored assets to understand and interpret how developments impact your fund.
With an ever-growing list of requirements around reporting, pooling or UK-based investing, it’s imperative funds have the right governance in place.
Our dedicated team can support all governance requirements, including drafting documents, providing reports, structuring decision-making bodies and conducting due diligence of investment opportunities.
