Worcestershire Pension Fund has appointed Mandy Kaur-Sadler as its independent person.
An individual who brings with her more than 20 years of experience in the pensions sector, it is the second independent person position Kaur-Sadler has taken on – having agreed to become the West Midlands Pension Fund’s independent person earlier this year.
Her primary role will be to provide independent scrutiny, expert oversight, and constructive challenge to pension committees regarding investment strategy, fund administration, and governance.
There’s nothing that prohibits an individual from being an independent person for more than one LGPS fund. In fact, given what the role entails, many in the sector expected individuals holding independent person positions across multiple funds due to a sparsity of people capable of filling such a role.
Commenting on the appointment, Worcestershire Pension Fund said: “We are delighted to welcome Mandy as the fund’s independent person.
“She brings a unique combination of LGPS knowledge, governance expertise and practical pensions experience which will be invaluable as the fund continues to evolve and respond to a changing regulatory environment.
“Worcestershire Pension Fund has long placed strong governance at the heart of its activities, and Mandy’s appointment further enhances our governance framework and supports our ambition to be recognised as a leading LGPS fund, delivering the highest standards of accountability, transparency and decision-making on behalf of our members and employers.
“This appointment reflects Worcestershire Pension Fund’s broader commitment to ensuring that its governance arrangements remain robust, effective and fit for the future.
“Through strong oversight, constructive challenge and a culture of continuous improvement, the fund will continue to safeguard the long-term interests of its members while supporting the delivery of sustainable pension outcomes for generations to come.”
