Pension schemes 'tie the hands' of growth investment, industry boss says

Workplace pension trustees are prioritizing low-cost fees over investing in high-growth companies, according to a trade body.

  • 17 signatories of the Mansion House Accord have allocated 3.3% of assets into UK private markets by December 2025
  • £11.1bn has been invested into private markets, with £8bn going towards property and real estate

Workplace pension trustees are prioritizing low-cost fees over investing in high-growth companies, according to Zoe Alexander, chief policy officer at trade body Pensions UK.

The focus on securing ultra-low fees for clients is restricting higher allocation into assets such as private equity and debt.

Why this matters: This could hold back growth investment in the industry.

What this means for you: If you're a pension scheme member, this may affect your long-term investment returns.
