Local Pensions Partnership Investments (LPPI) has completed the onboarding of new partner funds, bringing LPPI’s total assets under management (AUM) to an estimated £57bn from 1st April 2026.

This marks a major milestone in LPPI’s Fit for the Future process as the six new partner funds join its existing three as equal shareholders to form a powerful new collective.

LPPI has scaled to ensure it is appropriately resourced to support its larger size. It will be welcoming more than 20 new joiners over the next few months, including 15 from Brunel. The pool has appointed Roelie van Wijk, previously a non-executive director of Brunel, as a non-executive director, and opened a new office in Bristol. This complements LPPI’s existing sites in Preston and London and maintains a local presence for all of its partner funds.

It has also unveiled a refreshed brand as it begins its new chapter as an enlarged pool. This reflects its identity as an ambitious collective of LGPS funds using their shared scale, expertise and close collaboration to deliver better long-term outcomes for employers, members and taxpayers.

Since launching in 2016, LPPI has already delivered more than £250m in net cost savings for its partner funds through its in-house management capabilities and the economies of scale that pooling delivers.

Chris Rule, Chief Executive Officer at LPPI, said: “Successfully onboarding at pace has been possible because of genuine collaboration between our partner funds – a theme that’s going to define how we move forward together as an enlarged pool. In the decade since we were founded, we’ve shown the benefits that pooling can deliver. With greater scale, we’re well placed to keep building on that progress. We’re now focused on the next phase of partner fund integration, which will ensure that partner funds’ investment strategies and strategic asset allocations are fully aligned with Fit for the Future. Together, let’s do more.”
