Our Mission

LAPFF exists to promote the investment interests of local authority pension funds, and to maximise their influence as shareholders whilst promoting social responsibility and corporate governance at the companies in which they invest.

Formed in 1990, the Forum brings together a diverse range of local authority pension funds with combined assets of over £100 billion.
