Investment Seminar

18 March to 20 March 2026

Carden Park, Cheshire

This training arrives at a defining moment for LGPS, as the sector continues to evolve and starts to shift its focus from policy and reform to implementation and delivery.

Now celebrating its 21st year, the seminar will provide a vital forum for open discussion, strategic thinking, and collaboration around the most pressing issues facing funds today, including:

·         The progress of the Pensions Bill and its potential to reshape the future framework of public sector pensions.

·         A persistently uncertain global and political environment driving market volatility and influencing investment strategies.

·         The balancing act between delivering sustainable, long-term returns and responding to the Government’s ambitions to boost UK investment.
