Frequently asked questions
How is the Warwickshire Pension Fund governed and who makes investment decisions?
Warwickshire County Council serves as the Administering Authority, with oversight provided by the Pension Fund Investment Sub-Committee. Day-to-day investment management is largely delegated to external managers and, since 2018, the Border to Coast Pensions Partnership. Border to Coast handles manager selection, portfolio construction, and direct investing across a range of private market asset classes on behalf of Warwickshire and its 10 partner funds.
What is Border to Coast Pensions Partnership and how does Warwickshire use it?
Border to Coast is one of eight LGPS asset pools in the UK, managing roughly £46 billion for 11 partner funds including Warwickshire. It was established to reduce costs and improve investment outcomes through scale. Warwickshire is both a shareholder and a client, committing capital to Border to Coast's internally managed funds in UK real estate, infrastructure, private equity, and fixed income.
What real assets does the fund hold directly or through pooled vehicles?
The fund holds property assets through the BCPP UK Real Estate Fund, the Unite Student Accommodation Fund, and the Octopus Healthcare Fund. Infrastructure exposure flows through the IFM Global Infrastructure Fund and Border to Coast's own infrastructure mandates. Legacy holdings include the Threadneedle TPEN fund and global property exposure through Schroders. These span UK residential, healthcare, mixed-use, and global infrastructure assets.
Does the fund engage in responsible investment or stewardship activities?
Yes. The fund participates in the Local Authority Pension Fund Forum (LAPFF), which coordinates engagement with portfolio companies on governance and climate issues. It is also a member of the Pensions and Lifetime Savings Association (PLSA) and holds Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) signatory status through its pooled arrangements with Border to Coast and Legal & General Investment Management.
What is the fund's approach to private credit and fixed income?
The fund's liquid credit exposure includes holdings in the Insight Money Market Fund. Private credit is primarily accessed through Border to Coast's pooled mandates rather than direct origination. The fixed-income allocation is managed alongside equity investments to meet long-term liability cash flows, with active management delegated to pooled fund managers.
