We are one of eight Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) asset pools in England and Wales, providing investment management services to the local government pension funds of Cheshire, Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire, Shropshire, Staffordshire, West Midlands and Worcestershire.

These Partner Funds are both our clients and our shareholders and hold combined assets of £56bn, managed on behalf of over 1 million LGPS members and 2000 participating employers. 

With a long-term perspective and a commitment to responsible investment, LGPS Central aims to deliver strong investment returns for the benefit of local government pensioners, employees and employers.

We manage assets across public and private markets, both internally and through externally appointed fund managers. Our aim is to use the combined buying power of our Partner Funds to reduce costs, improve investment returns and widen the range of available asset classes for investment.
