From Risk and Optionality to Imperative Opportunity

We explore the climate focused investment strategies tailored to the needs of the LGPS, as well as cutting edge opportunities leading the way in the paradigm shift from risk to opportunity.

With most schemes close to 100% funded, and 2022 valuations looming, we explore which strategies can provide the required income. 

We review the most exciting and innovative opportunities out there, from biodiversity investing to the next generation of Emerging Managers.

A lack of rating standards, benchmarks and frameworks make effecting reporting a considerable challenge, but new expertise, approaches and tools are constantly being developed to improve the quality of the data being collected.

We explore key updates on TCFD consultations and the challenges which lie ahead in implementing the framework. 

We review strategies and the tools designed to address the porting gap and mitigate data uncertainty.

With LGPS pools now a well established reality, we look at how they are being managed and leveraged to maximise the impact of the LGPS on climate change.

We consider best practice when it comes to establishing governance and review how pools are approaching the challenges of investing in asset classes like real estate and infrastructure

Lastly, we ponder what the pools and the LGPS scheme could look like in 10 years' time and what impact they will have.

A number of high-profile speaking opportunities are available for LGPS representatives, asset managers and investment, data, and reporting advisers.

Attendance is completely free of charge for local authority delegates, including both local government officers and elected members.

Passes for non-LGPS representatives are capped at 25 places, with a maximum of 1 place per organisation.
