Conference highlights: LGC investment Seminar Scotland

On 29-30 October we had the pleasure of joining the Local Government Chronicle (LGC) for their Investment seminar in Edinburgh. 

A changing investment landscape. New opportunities. Greater choice for well-funded schemes. The LGC Investment Seminar Scotland explored how Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) funds can turn that flexibility into long-term resilience, with diversification, investment discipline, effective governance and adaptability at the heart of the debate. 

Key takeaways: 

• Build resilient portfolios in a changing market.
• Look beyond recent equity-market leaders.
• Treat private and local-market investing selectively.
• Use strong funding positions thoughtfully. 
• Strengthen delivery through collaboration and governance. 
• Use AI to support, not replace, stewardship judgement.
