Border to Coast Pensions Partnership
Hertfordshire County Council at its meeting on the 17 February 2026 unanimously approved a recommendation from the Pension Committee that the Hertfordshire Local Government Pension Fund become a partner and shareholder of the Border to Coast Pension Partnership Ltd, with effect from 1 April 2026. This followed a robust evaluation process undertaken by officers and advisors that identified BCPP as having a strong governance model and collaborative approach, a proven track record, and the requirements to meet this Fund’s future investment needs and expectations.
Border to Coast Chief Executive Officer, said: “Our partnership will be strengthened by the addition of these Funds. In coming together, we can use our scale to be more effective, more resilient, and more impactful. Together we will build on our collective strengths and continue to make a difference for the LGPS.”
With the addition of 7 Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) funds to the pool, collective assets will total close to £120bn, positioning Border to Coast as the largest pensions asset owner in the UK. The pool, launched in 2018, stands ready to harness the benefits of scale to ensure greater value for money, innovation, and opportunity for its 18 LGPS Partner Funds – its shareholders and customers.
