Hymans Robertson has grown up with local authority pensions and the LGPS. Our firm was founded to provide advice to the LGPS in 1921, just as the first funds were being created. Whilst our business has developed over the decades, working with local authority pensions remains at the heart of what we do. We employ over 60 people who provide exclusive funding and investment advice to over half of all LGPS funds.

Of course, tackling climate risk is also a challenge for private sector pension funds and other institutions. Advice across the markets that our firm serves covers over £300bn of assets under management.

Our climate pledge is to be carbon neutral this year, and halve our 2019 carbon footprint by the time we reach 2025. Climate risks will affect asset values and returns and advising clients on how to tackle them is an integral part of our research and services.
