Royal County of Berkshire Pension Scheme
The Royal County of Berkshire Pension Scheme was established in 1974 to deliver Local Government Pension Scheme benefits. It is administered by Local Pensions Partnership Administration on behalf of the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead as the administering authority. The scheme allocates to private equity, infrastructure, and real estate through pooled funds. Confirmed holdings include positions in LPPI Private Equity Fund, LPPI Infrastructure Fund, and LPPI UK Property Fund. It previously held a joint venture interest in Glassford LLP for residential properties in Berkshire and maintains exposure to US life settlements. Geographic reach covers the United Kingdom and select African and global markets via fund commitments. The scheme joined the Local Pensions Partnership collective investment pool in April 2018. It completed a fourth buy-in transaction with Legal & General Assurance Society covering scheme liabilities. Service providers include Barnett Waddingham as actuary and Northern Trust as global custodian. The scheme operates as a participating employer in the Local Pensions Partnership structure rather than maintaining standalone investment operations.
