Sutton Council
The London Borough of Sutton Pension Fund was established in 1974. It operates as a defined benefit scheme for local government employees. Assets sit within the London CIV pooling arrangement that manages 84 percent of holdings. The fund deploys capital across global equities, fixed income, real estate, and infrastructure. Confirmed positions include commitments to LCIV Global Equity Fund, LCIV UK Housing Fund, The London Fund, and LCIV Renewable Infrastructure. Geographic exposure centers on the United Kingdom and global markets. Ticket sizes range from $10 million to $50 million with a 10-to-20-year horizon. The fund employs no disclosed investment staff count. It works with service providers including Hymans Robertson as actuary, Mercer as investment advisor, and Northern Trust as custodian. In September 2024 the fund attended a Responsible Investment Training and Engagement Session focused on ESG integration. It holds membership in LAPFF and London CIV. The fund participates only through the London CIV vehicle rather than direct external GP commitments. Governance flows through the Pension Committee chaired by Cllr Cryss Mennaceur with operational oversight by Katherine Gray.
