Thank you to all employers that shared their thoughts and feedback, during the consultation period.
The fund has prepared its Investment Strategy Statement, in line with the current statutory framework and new draft regulations expected to be in place in 2026. The statement is available to read and download here: Investment Strategy Statement
It is the fund’s responsibility to generate sustainable investment returns that, together with employer contributions, will meet its obligation to pay members' pension benefits.
The latest statement explains how the fund intends to achieve this and sets out:
- Investment objectives, beliefs, and approach to risk.
- The Strategic Asset Allocation (SAA) used to deliver those objectives.
- How environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors are considered in investment decisions.
- The fund's cashflow requirements and approach to local investments.
- The framework for overseeing investment implementation, including LGPS investment pooling arrangements.
