TPR probes barriers to investment in private markets and infrastructure - London Business News | Londonlovesbusiness.com
"The Pensions Regulator (TPR) has launched an initiative to explore the approach of defined contribution (DC) and defined benefit (DB) pension schemes to investing in growth assets that could boost returns for savers over the long term, and to better understand the barriers to doing so. Through the voluntary Mansion House Accord, 17 workplace pension providers have signalled their intent to invest more in private markets by 2030, including in the UK."
"In the current phase of its work, TPR is using its sector insights to understand the range of market opportunities and investment vehicles available to pension schemes, their limitations, barriers and enablers, with an emphasis on UK investment opportunities. The government's industrial strategy presents opportunities for pension schemes to invest over the longer term in growth sectors, such as science and technology."
TPR has launched an initiative to examine how defined contribution (DC) and defined benefit (DB) pension schemes approach investing in growth assets and to identify barriers to such investments. Seventeen workplace pension providers signalled intent to increase private market allocations by 2030 through the Mansion House Accord, and the Sterling 20 partnership between major funds and insurers has added momentum. TPR published private markets guidance last year and is using sector insights to map market opportunities, investment vehicles, limitations, barriers and enablers, with emphasis on UK opportunities. TPR focuses on materially scaled DC and DB schemes and will complete engagement by end-2025, share findings with Government, and publish a market oversight report next year.
