New investment working groups interest

At the Board meeting held on 20 July 2026, it was agreed that the secretariat establish new working groups to support the scheme in developing guidance or common principles on key areas to layer over the new statutory Investment Strategy Statement (ISS) guidance, Pooling guidance and Fund Governance guidance documents. The first set of working groups will be focused on:

• Fiduciary oversight of pools
• The common principles or guidelines for reporting publicly and to partner funds
• Developing the capacity for local investment projects including relationship building with strategic authorities and due diligence assessments for potential investment projects
• Implementation of funds’ responsible investment strategies by pools

If you are interested in joining any of these working groups please fill out this form by 25 August 2026. The secretariat will be in contact to arrange the first set of meetings in the following weeks.
