Investment strategy refers to the different types of assets we invest in, and the proportion of the Fund we invest in each.
It is important that investments perform well. Our investment strategy is one of diversified investment - that is, investments are spread across different investment managers, countries, sectors and types to reduce the overall risk.
The objective of investment is to deliver long-term returns which are greater than the growth in liabilities. We have long been innovative with the investments we make, being among the first pension funds to invest in private equity and property, and to use specialist investment managers.
