Responsible investment (RI) has emerged as a key draw for members of the London Pensions Fund Authority (LPFA).
Based on findings from the fund’s latest members survey, 64% of its members say the fact that the fund talks about RI makes them more likely to stay in the fund.
Additionally, nearly twice as many prioritise avoiding harm and creating positive impact over maximising financial returns regardless of the impact.
Concerningly, though, it also found 48% haven’t read its RI and climate change policies and don’t know what they cover.
Outside this, when asked what ESG issues matter most, 30% cited human rights, including labour rights and modern slavery – outpacing climate change (27%) and corporate governance issues (24%).
These findings come from the third edition of LPFA’s Member Survey, which was sent to around 42,000 members – of which 3,099 responded.
All in all, more than 73% believed the fund is trustworthy and reliable, while 67% agreed it effectively manages their pension.
Reflecting on the findings, LPFA chief executive Jo Donnelly said: “Our Member Survey plays an important role in ensuring that we provide our members with the best service possible.
“We do act on the feedback that we receive from them and publishing a report summarising the findings helps us remain transparent. We will be discussing the results in more detail with all our members in our forthcoming Member Forum and more widely in our Fund Newsletter.”
