I am delighted to invite you to attend the next meeting of
the APPG for Local Authority Pension Funds which will focus on local authority
pension fund investment in affordable housing.
Local government pension funds have steadily increased
their investment in place-based impact investments, which include both new and
refurbished affordable housing. Most of the investment - from build to rent and
shared ownership to temporary accommodation and specialist housing - is through
co-investment partnerships and special purpose delivery vehicles with
investment companies, charities and private and social housing providers.
Some have called for LGPS funds to further scale up
investment in alternative assets and invest more in affordable housing. The
Government is also calling on the LGPS to increase local investment and the
chancellor has stated that the government will consult on requiring LGPS funds
to consider illiquid asset investment opportunities.
This Zoom event will discuss what has been achieved and
what more could be done to maximise investment opportunities. It will examine
recent experience and best practice and explore the constraints and barriers to
investing in affordable housing.
This meeting will be held online, if you want to attend please
register here.
Best wishes
Clive Betts MP
Chair, APPG for Local
Authority Pension Funds

Secretariat of the APPG for Local Authority Pensions Funds which is sponsored by the LAPFF
