Investing in private markets
How investing in private markets aims to grow member savings.
People’s Pension is starting an important new journey to enhance member savings through investment in private markets, aiming to allocate up to £4bn by 2030. These investments are expected to deliver strong, stable returns for members.
What are private markets?
Private markets involve investments that aren’t traded on public stock exchanges. Instead, they focus on long-term projects and assets like:
- Infrastructure
- Real estate
These types of assets can offer steady, long-term returns while diversifying pension investments.
We are initially targeting infrastructure and real estate projects. However, all investments will depend on whether they meet our return requirements and represent good value for our members.
Why are we investing in private markets now?
With over £40bn in assets under management, we’ve reached the scale required to access private markets in the right way – ensuring that these investments meet the People’s Pension Trustee’s rigorous standards for quality and value.
While these investments may have some secondary benefits for the UK economy, our primary focus remains on securing the best possible outcomes for members’ financial future.
