Border to Coast Pensions Partnership was created to pool the investments of like-minded Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) funds – our ‘Partner Funds’. Established as a regulated asset manager in 2018, we are one of the largest LGPS pools in the UK.
Our purpose is to make a difference for the Local Government Pension Scheme. We seek to do this by providing cost-effective, innovative, and responsible investment opportunities that deliver returns over the long-term. This is on behalf of the more than 1.1 million LGPS members, over 2,800 employers, and the millions of taxpayers associated with our Partner Funds. We are regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).
The work Border to Coast undertakes is centred on ensuring we deliver on our purpose by building a sustainable organisation that invests in a responsible manner.
