LGPS Pools

Background

Following the publication of guidance on the pooling of LGPS assets in 2015, the 86 AAs came together in groups of their own choosing to establish eight asset pools. As of 31 March 2024, £178 billion (45%) of LGPS assets were invested through these pools, with a further £107 billion (27%) of assets managed by the pools outside of pool investment vehicles

There are currently eight asset pools in the LGPS (as at 31 January 2025) although this will shortly reduce to six, in line with the Government’s preferred approach. The relevant legal entity short names in general use are shown in the summary table below. For more information on the LGPS pools, please visit the websites.
