LGPS pool preps small-cap equity search

Brunel Pension Partnership has started its research phase for the search of fund managers for its smaller companies equities sub-fund.

“The sub-fund, which sits under our active equities portfolio, offers us the opportunity to really investigate the practical issues of investing in smaller companies and to harness the exceptional growth potential of these companies,” said David Cox, head of listed markets.

As an initial indication, the value of the smaller companies equities sub-fund will be between £100 million and £400 million, said Stephanie Carter, investment officer. At this stage, Brunel would welcome any relevant thought leadership or white papers on this topic, she added.
