Hampshire Pension Fund has launched a consultation with its stakeholders on the fund’s investment strategy statement.
The investment strategy sets out how money that has been received from scheme members’ and employers’ contributions will be invested. This includes what the fund’s investment objectives and beliefs are, how much money is allocated to different types of assets, and how ESG factors are considered.
Among the proposals in the draft investment strategy statement being its plan to allocate between three and five percent of assets locally, split between the Hampshire and Solent Combined County Authority area (one to two percent) and the wider LGPS Central area (two to three percent).
It’s also aiming for a third of its allocation to private markets to be invested in investments with positive impacts, whilst continuing to achieve the investment return targets that the fund has set.
Outside this, the fund it’s looking to increase RI reporting to scheme members, identify and address slavery and child labour risks in its supply chains, and continue progressing disinvestment from fossil fuels.
To put together these plans, the panel and board have taken advice from the fund’s actuary and investment consultant in its 2025 valuation of the fund, who have recommended an asset allocation to achieve the fund’s required investment return.
The fund’s investment consultant undertakes extensive modelling of different combinations of investments and future economic conditions in order to recommend the asset allocation.
Stakeholders are invited to have their say on this document, with the consultation being open until 2 August.
