Buckinghamshire Council
Buckinghamshire Council established its pension fund to deliver retirement benefits tied to final salary and service for council staff and related employers. The fund joined the Brunel Pension Partnership as one of ten founding members to consolidate investment management across LGPS schemes. Asset allocation includes public equities managed through Brunel Active Equities and Brunel Passive Equities vehicles, plus allocations to private equity via Pantheon, infrastructure, and private debt. Direct holdings encompass the Consilio Property Portfolio valued at $44.3M, a 50% interest in Aylesbury Vale Estates LLP valued at $58.4M, and minority stakes in Brunel Property Unit Trusts. Geographic exposure centers on the United Kingdom with additional global infrastructure and private debt positions. The fund reports 5.01% to private equity and maintains service relationships with Mercer as investment advisor, State Street as custodian, and Barnett Waddingham as actuary. It participates in the LAPFF, PLSA, and IIGCC networks. November 2024 sponsorship of the Bucks Culture Conference marked one recent operational activity. Governance occurs through the Pension Fund Committee with employer representation; the fund holds a 10% ownership stake in Brunel Pension Partnership itself.
