The Local Authority Pension Fund Forum brings together a diverse range of local authority pension funds with combined assets of over £100 billion. Formed in 1990, it provides a unique opportunity for discussion of investment issues and shareholder action by Britain's local authority pension funds.
 
Local authority pension fund investment policies have important implications for their beneficiaries, local communities, council tax payers and the wider economy. The powerful influence gained by such funds acting together as shareholders on issues of common concern has considerable potential in relation to companies where they invest.
 
The Forum meets quarterly and provides an opportunity for discussion and debate on a broad range of investment issues concerned with shareholder responsibilities and action. The Forum has discussed papers on wide range of topics.
 
Membership of the Forum brings considerable benefits in the fast changing world of pension fund investment. The quarterly meetings provide an opportunity for discussion and debate. Agendas are constructed by members of the Forum themselves, and meetings are serviced by PIRC Limited, as the appointed research and engagement partner to the Forum. View the list of members.
