Local Pensions Partnership Investments

Local Pensions Partnership Investments (LPPI) was established in 2016 to enable UK local government and public sector schemes to pool resources and improve management of their assets for the benefit of employers and their scheme members, and currently manages £27.4 billion of pension assets, as at 30 September 2025. 

From inception, LPPI pooled 100% of Partner Fund assets under a Whole Scheme Management model which provides access to attractive investments in a cost-effective manner while Partner funds retain sovereignty of their strategic asset allocation, investment objective and risk appetite.
