Investments

Leicestershire County Council Pension Fund (the Fund) manages investments on behalf of over 100,000 scheme members and 200 employers to meet the costs of paying scheme member benefits in retirement.

The LGPS is a statutory public service scheme, meaning members are guaranteed their benefits by law. If investments don't perform well, it is the employers, not members that may have to pay more to cover the shortfall. To avoid any shortfall the Fund invests in lots of different types of assets with the aim to grow the pot of money over time to meet these benefit payments. This section contains information on the Fund’s approach to investment, pooling and responsible investment.
