Kent Pension Fund

The Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) is a public sector pension scheme, administered through regional pension funds. The Kent Pension Fund is one of those regional funds. Kent County Council (KCC) is the administering authority for the LGPS in Kent and the Kent Pension Fund. There is a clear distinction between KCC and the Kent Pension Fund. The assets of the Fund are held completely separately to those of KCC and over 400 other participating employers in the Kent Pension Fund. The Kent Pension Fund has assets exceeding £7.5 billion and is dedicated to securing the financial future of our members, and more than 300 employers in the Fund. Investments are held across a wide range of asset classes which include equities, fixed income, property, and other alternative assets. The Fund is a member of the ACCESS pool and believes in the power of collaboration to achieve common goals. The Fund’s RI policy reflects its fiduciary duty to actively manage ESG risks and identify sustainable investment opportunities in line with its broader objectives. The Fund’s Responsible Investment strategy is built upon three pillars of stewardship, climate change and impact investing. The Fund has made good progress towards understanding its climate risks and is preparing to set a net zero target in the near future. The Fund is committed to making ongoing improvements to the responsible investment approach to ensure it continues to remain a responsible investor and a good steward of the assets it invests in. The Pension Administration Section and the Treasury and Investments Section share the day to day management of the Kent Pension Fund. For more information, please see our website.
