Hampshire County Council Pension Fund
The Hampshire County Council Pension Fund operates as the Local Government Pension Scheme vehicle for council employees. It participates in the ACCESS asset pooling arrangement that combines resources across multiple UK public funds. The fund maintains a 7.5 percent allocation to private equity alongside real estate and infrastructure exposure. Confirmed holdings include the Hampshire Pension Fund UK Property Portfolio valued at £930 million, a timberland portfolio at £255 million, and positions in the ACCESS UK Core Fund and ACCESS Global Indirect Fund. Geographic reach centers on the United Kingdom with additional timberland and indirect real estate exposure globally. The fund lists 30 service providers and relationships, including Hymans Robertson as investment advisor and Northern Trust as custodian. Andrew Boutflower serves as Head of Investments. In September 2024 the fund participated as panelist at ACCESS Joint Committee Meetings on LGPS pooling governance. Membership in the UN Principles for Responsible Investment, UK Stewardship Code, and Institutional Investors Group on Climate Change shapes its approach to climate risk assessment.
