Our clients

Local Government Pension Schemes

Columbia Threadneedle Investments have been a trusted partner to Local Government Pension Schemes (LGPS) investors since 1994. We strive to provide the highest level of service and have a dedicated team to foster and grow relationships across the 8 Pools and 98 Administering Authorities in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Our LGPS clients have allocated their assets across Columbia Threadneedle equity, fixed income and alternative investment platforms and leverage our responsible investment engagement services, reo. We aim to work closely with each client to ensure they achieve their objectives through our investment capabilities. For this, transparency and timely communication with each client is at the core of our success.

We hold and support a variety of dedicated local authority events throughout the year. These include conferences, bespoke educational sessions all established to educate and inform clients of key investment issues they face. We recognise the increasing demand to meet changing disclosure requirements and client reporting needs and have a strong track record in supporting clients as their investment priorities evolve.
