LPP Investments focuses on providing innovative and cost-effective pension solutions through collaboration, responsible investment, and strong governance.
New partner funds confirm selection
LPPI has been selected by six new LGPS partner funds to join the pool, marking a major milestone in the Government’s Fit for the Future process. The funds are:
- Avon Pension Fund
- Cornwall Pension Fund
- Devon Pension Fund
- Dorset Pension Fund
- Environment Agency Pension Fund (EAPF)
- Somerset Pension Fund
This expansion will bring LPPI’s total partner funds to nine, alongside our existing members: Lancashire County Pension Fund, the London Pensions Fund Authority, and the Royal County of Berkshire Pension Fund. Following integration, LPPI’s assets under management will exceed £54 billion. The formal onboarding process is scheduled for completion by 31 March 2026.
Leadership update
Jonathan Ord has been promoted to Head of Direct Infrastructure at LPPI. In his new role, Jonathan leads the Direct Infrastructure team, taking overall responsibility for strategy, portfolio management, and delivering strong investment outcomes across LPPI’s direct infrastructure assets. He has played a pivotal role in establishing GLIL Infrastructure LLP, where he continues to serve as a founding member of the investment team and on the Investment Committee.
GLIL Infrastructure, for which LPPI acts as Alternative Investment Fund Manager, has commitments of £4.1 billion and investments of over £3.2 billion as at 30 September 2025, and recently marked its 10-year anniversary. Jonathan also sits on the boards of several portfolio companies, helping to drive performance and growth.
To further strengthen leadership, LPPI has made two senior appointments:
- Daniel Hobson has moved from Head of Infrastructure Asset Management into the newly created role of Head of Origination and Execution, leading efforts to deliver new investment opportunities and deepen engagement with external partners.
- James Harraway has joined as Head of Value Creation, bringing over 20 years’ experience in infrastructure investment and M&A, most recently as Managing Director at Infracapital.
These appointments reflect LPPI’s commitment to enhancing capabilities and delivering best-in-class outcomes for partner funds. This leadership refresh forms part of a broader strategy to scale LPPI’s infrastructure platform and reinforce its position as a leading provider of collaborative investment solutions.
