Local Authority Pension Fund Forum

The LAPFF Mission

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

Formed in 1990, the LAPFF Forum brings together a diverse range of local authority pension funds with combined assets of over £95 billion.

With the Forum's focus on the collective use of shareholder rights and on social responsibility and governance, it has taken a close interest in the work of the Company Law Review and is supportive of new legislation on the issues raised by the Review. We base our comments on issues where we have particular experience as practitioners within the current legal framework.
