West Yorkshire Pension Fund

West Yorkshire Pension Fund

West Yorkshire Pension Fund was established in 1974. It serves as the pension scheme for local government employees in West Yorkshire under the administering authority of City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council. The fund allocates across public equities, private equity via Northern Private Equity Pool, infrastructure through GLIL, and direct real estate. Confirmed holdings include PRS Holdco Portfolio of 5,478 homes, Selly Oak Retail Park, Croydon Logistics Asset, and Milton Keynes Trade Counter Estate. Geographic exposure centers on the United Kingdom with additional positions in Latin America via IDB Bonds. Northern LGPS and LPPI serve as co-investment partners on multiple transactions. Assets total approximately $25 billion. The fund maintains memberships in LAPFF, PLSA, and PRI. Recent activity includes the November 2024 WYPF Annual Member Meeting in Bradford covering performance and governance. Additional offices are not disclosed. Service providers include Northern Trust as custodian and Aon as actuary. The fund operates through the Northern LGPS pooling structure that mandates collective decision-making on private markets with partner funds Greater Manchester Pension Fund and Merseyside Pension Fund. This architecture requires shared governance on vehicles such as GLIL Infrastructure.
