LGPS Central delivers investment management, stewardship and advisory services to 14 partner funds across the central region with total assets ~£100 billion, fostering the long-term growth and sustainability of its investments.
LGPS Central: continues to build momentum
Since meeting the Government’s Fit for the Future implementation date on 1 April, LGPS Central has continued to build momentum as one of the UK’s leading LGPS pools.
The milestone marked a significant step in the evolution of the company, with LGPS Central now working on behalf of 14 partner funds, representing around £100 billion of collective assets, more than 5,000 participating employers and over 1.6 million scheme members. The successful onboarding of six new partner funds, alongside the transition of all partner funds to fiduciary management agreements, provides a strong platform for the next phase of pooling.
Activity since 1 April has focused on delivery, integration and capability building. A fully scoped transition plan is now in place, with work being phased carefully to manage complexity, minimise disruption and support cost-effective asset transition over time. This sits alongside the company’s enhanced target operating model, strengthened governance framework and expanding advisory and client portfolio management capabilities.
A key feature of this next phase is continued investment in people. LGPS Central has announced the appointments of Alison Major Lépine as Head of Alternatives & Hedging Solutions and Lee Marshall as Investment Director of Global Property & Natural Capital, strengthening senior capability across areas of growing importance to partner funds.
Their appointments reflect the increasing breadth and sophistication of LGPS Central’s investment proposition as the company supports partner funds across public markets, private markets, advisory services and responsible investment. They also underline the company’s ability to attract high-calibre investment professionals to its Midlands-based team, building deeper specialist expertise in-house while maintaining close alignment with partner fund priorities.
The company’s broader activity continues to be anchored in long-term value, fiduciary duty and partnership. This includes supporting partner funds with investment advice, stewardship, local investment priorities and access to scalable opportunities across public and private markets.
As the LGPS landscape continues to evolve, LGPS Central’s focus remains clear, delivering strong investment outcomes, good value and high-quality service for partner funds, while helping to shape the next stage of pooling with confidence and purpose.
