L&G

L&G sits within the Legal & General Group, a UK insurer and pension provider. The asset management division manages the parent company's general account alongside third-party institutional mandates. This structure provides access to permanent, long-dated capital — primarily from annuity reserves — which allows L&G to seed new real asset and credit strategies with its own balance sheet before opening them to external investors.

L&G invests predominantly through direct origination in real estate, infrastructure, and private credit. The firm builds and manages housing, logistics, and science-district properties directly, and its infrastructure team takes equity stakes in clean energy and digital projects. Its private credit activity includes direct lending to European corporates. Pemberton Asset Management, an associated firm in which L&G holds a stake, manages additional private credit strategies; those assets are excluded from L&G's reported AUM.

L&G targets residential property, logistics, science and innovation districts, clean energy generation and storage, and digital infrastructure. The firm's real estate platform also operates as a developer in the UK, particularly in build-to-rent housing and university-linked science parks. In infrastructure, the emphasis is on energy transition projects that align with the parent insurer's net-zero commitments.

The asset management division operates as a distinct business within the Legal & General Group. While it manages the insurer's general account, it also raises and manages capital for external pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, and other institutions. The investment teams, led by the CEO of Asset Management, oversee both internal mandates and third-party funds across public and private markets.

Pemberton Asset Management is a European private credit manager in which Legal & General holds a strategic stake. Pemberton operates independently, and its assets under management are excluded from L&G's reported £1.177 trillion figure. The two firms co-operate on certain lending opportunities, but Pemberton manages its own funds and client relationships.
