ACCESS authorities are progressing towards key decisions in response to the Government’s “Fit for the Future” policy, which presents significant challenges for individual Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) funds, the ACCESS collaboration, and the sector as a whole.
The ACCESS Pool is extremely disappointed to learn that government has chosen not to support our intention to build our own FCA regulated investment management company at a time when other similar proposals have been given the green light.
The ACCESS Pool has appointed Arcmont Asset Management (“Arcmont”) and Golub Capital to manage two distinct Senior Secured Direct Lending mandates focusing on European and US markets, respectively.
ACCESS Pool, a collaboration of Central, Eastern and Southern Shires composed of 11 LGPS Administering Authorities, is delighted to announce that, it has been approved by the Financial Reporting Council (FRC) as a signatory to the UK Stewardship Code 2020 (‘the Code’) as of 11 February 2025.
Work has been initiated to explore all options on how ACCESS responds to the new requirements. These options include building a new investment company.
