The Haringey Pension Fund, administered by Haringey Council is part of the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS). The fund is committed to delivering long‑term, risk‑adjusted returns for its current and future members. As a member of the London Collective Investment Vehicle (LCIV), the Fund collaborates with partner funds to access shared investment opportunities and to promote common responsible investment beliefs and stewardship best practice.

The Fund invests across a broad mix of countries, sectors, and asset classes. This diversification helps manage long‑term risk by ensuring protection against a downturn in any one asset class.

These investments generate the income needed to pay pensions each month, while also aiming to grow the overall value of the Fund. As the scheme is a defined benefit arrangement, the responsibility for ensuring there are sufficient assets to meet pension obligations lies with the employer rather than individual members. This means that any funding shortfall must ultimately be met through increased employer contributions, not by employees.

In fulfilling its fiduciary duty, the Fund recognises that responsible investment is essential to securing sustainable long‑term returns. Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors, such as but not limited to:

·         Climate change

·         Labour standards

·         Human rights

·         Ethical conduct

can have a material impact on the performance, resilience, and reputation of investments. Proactively identifying and managing these risks helps protect long‑term value and supports the Fund’s commitment to a more sustainable and equitable financial system.

We are now seeking members’ input and feedback on the proposed approach. Your views will help shape the final Responsible Investment Policy and ensure it reflects the priorities of our membership. However, it is important to emphasise that this consultation is advisory: while all responses will be carefully considered, the final decision on the content of the RI Policy rests with the Pensions Committee and Board.
