Imperial Tobacco Pension Fund
The fund was established in 1929 to serve employees of what is now Imperial Brands. It has pursued de-risking through insurance transactions and alternative asset exposure. Asset allocation includes private debt mandates with Hayfin Capital Management and M&G Investments, plus ground lease holdings such as Bristol Harbour Hotel. Geographic focus remains the United Kingdom with some European exposure through secured finance vehicles. The fund also works with PGIM Real Estate and DTZ Investment Management on property. Service providers include Hymans Robertson as lead adviser since 2021 and Legal & General Investment Management for LDI since 2017. The fund participates in the Pensions and Lifetime Savings Association. Governance centers on its relationship with sponsoring employer Imperial Brands PLC and independent member representation through IMPAC.
