LGPS pool LPPI has announced it has completed the onboarding of its new partner funds, bringing its total assets under management to an estimated £57bn.
It is a key milestone in the organisation’s Fit for the Future process with six new partner funds joining its existing three as equal shareholders.
The pool has scaled to ensure it’s appropriately resourced to support its larger size, welcoming more than 20 new joiners over the next few months – including 15 from Brunel.
As part of this, it has brought onboard former Brunel non-executive director Roelie van Wijk as a non-executive director and has opened a new office in Bristol.
Additionally, the pool has refreshed its brand, reflecting its identity as an “ambitious collective” of LGPS funds using their shared scale, expertise, and close collaboration to deliver better long-term outcomes for employers, members and taxpayers.
LPPI chief executive Chris Rule said: “Successfully onboarding at pace has been possible because of genuine collaboration between our partner funds – a theme that’s going to define how we move forward together as an enlarged pool.
“In the decade since we were founded, we’ve shown the benefits that pooling can deliver. With greater scale, we’re well placed to keep building on that progress.
“We’re now focused on the next phase of partner fund integration, which will ensure that partner funds’ investment strategies and strategic asset allocations are fully aligned with Fit for the Future. Together, let’s do more.”
