Description

Carmarthenshire County Council is the Host Authority for the Wales Pension Partnership (WPP). The WPP, established in 2017 is a collaboration of all eight LGPS funds in Wales and is one of eight national Local Government Pension pools. The eight LGPS funds in Wales are: Cardiff and Vale of Glamorgan, City and County of Swansea, Clwyd, Dyfed, Greater Gwent (Torfaen), Gwynedd, Powys and Rhondda Cynon Taf. The WPP has total assets worth approximately 21.6bn GBP (as at 31st March 2021), 14.6bn GBP of which have already been pooled and a further 0.6bn GBP to be invested in an Emerging Markets sub fund later this year. - The WPP is now looking to develop a range of Private Market Sub-Funds which the Constituent Authorities (“CAs”) (Local Government Pension Funds) of Wales can use to obtain the private market exposure that they require to meet their locally decided strategic asset allocations.
