London Borough of Haringey Pension Fund
The London Borough of Haringey Pension Fund was established in 1965 to deliver retirement benefits to local government employees across North London. Haringey Council acts as the administering authority, and since 2015 the fund has been a shareholder in and client of the London Collective Investment Vehicle (London CIV), the asset-pooling company created for London's 32 boroughs. The fund also participates in The London Fund, a partnership alongside Local Pensions Partnership Investments (LPPI) and other London CIV clients that targets local private-market opportunities. Strategy spans venture capital, growth equity, buyouts, mezzanine, secondaries, and fund-of-funds. The fund makes commitments through London CIV sub-funds rather than direct investments, with known exposure to private equity, infrastructure, and private credit pools. The London Fund partnership adds a direct co-investment and local-impact lens. Haringey is a signatory to the United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment and a member of the Local Authority Pension Fund Forum, signaling ESG integration across manager selection and stewardship. As of mid-2025, the pensions team is led by Jamie Abbott, with Rebecca Moore serving as Pensions Manager. The fund does not disclose total team size or precise deployment figures, but Altss estimates assets at approximately $2.57 billion. The London CIV relationship centralizes manager due diligence and fee negotiation, pooling buying power with other London boroughs. In July 2025, Jamie Abbott assumed the Head of Pensions role, marking a leadership transition at the fund (per Altss research, 2025). The fund's structural differentiator is its dual identity: a local-authority pension scheme with a statutory duty to its members, and a pooled institutional investor whose strategy is effectively co-determined by the London CIV governance framework. This removes single-manager discretion in favor of collective asset allocation, making Haringey's investment posture a function of London-wide committee decisions rather than in-house portfolio construction.

Frequently asked questions
How does the Haringey Pension Fund make its investment decisions?
The fund does not make direct standalone investment decisions in most asset classes. As a shareholder and client of the London Collective Investment Vehicle (London CIV), it commits capital to pooled sub-funds managed by external managers selected and overseen by the CIV. The London Fund partnership with LPPI adds a direct local-investment channel, but the core portfolio is constructed through the CIV's centralized manager due diligence and allocation process.
What is the London CIV and how does it shape the fund's strategy?
The London Collective Investment Vehicle is an asset pooling company created in 2015 for London's local-authority pension funds. Haringey is one of 32 shareholder boroughs. The CIV negotiates fees, selects managers, and structures sub-funds across equities, fixed income, private markets, and infrastructure. This pooled architecture means Haringey's asset allocation and manager roster are largely determined by collective London CIV governance rather than solely by the borough's pensions committee.
Does the Haringey Pension Fund invest directly in private companies, or only through funds?
The fund participates primarily through fund commitments and pooled vehicles. Its private-market exposure comes through London CIV sub-funds targeting private equity, infrastructure, and private credit, as well as through The London Fund, a partnership with Local Pensions Partnership Investments that includes direct and co-investment opportunities with a local-impact mandate. Standalone direct deals outside these structures are not typical.
Who runs investment decisions at the Haringey Pension Fund?
Day-to-day pension administration and strategic oversight fall under Jamie Abbott, who became Head of Pensions in July 2025, and Pensions Manager Rebecca Moore. The fund's investment committee and Haringey Council's pension board set the strategic asset allocation, but the manager selection and portfolio management for pooled assets are delegated to London CIV. The London Fund investments involve LPPI as a co-investment partner.
How does the fund incorporate ESG and responsible investment?
Haringey is a signatory to the United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment and a member of the Local Authority Pension Fund Forum (LAPFF). These affiliations embed ESG monitoring into manager selection and stewardship. Through London CIV, the fund also gains access to pooled ESG reporting and voting frameworks, with LAPFF providing active engagement on corporate governance and climate risk across listed holdings.
