Seven new funds set to join Border to Coast
Published: August 11, 2025
Border to Coast has announced that seven LGPS funds have confirmed their intention to join the pool.
This news has led to the pool entering into “exclusive discussions” with funds Cambridgeshire, East Sussex, Essex, Hertfordshire, Kent, Northamptonshire and West Sussex about the partnership.
It follows a “thorough review process” and detailed engagement with the pool and the funds, which are currently at ACCESS, and would lead to Border to Coast having £100bn worth of investments on its books.
Speaking on behalf of the seven, Councillor Jeremy Hunt of the West Sussex Pension Fund said: “The Border to Coast Pensions Partnership offers a strong governance framework and a collaborative approach. Border to Coast’s proven track record gives us confidence in a smooth transition and continued excellence in service delivery.”
Border to Coast chief executive Rachel Elwell added: “We’re delighted that these seven funds have selected Border to Coast as their pool of choice. This decision to form a new partnership is reflective of our joint commitment to collaboration, innovation, and shared purpose.
“In coming together, we can build on the collective experience and capabilities of all funds to not only strengthen our collective voice, but enhance our combined ability to deliver robust, sustainable, and cost-effective outcomes for Partner Funds.”
This is just the second announcement of this sort after Wiltshire announced LGPS Central as its preferred pooling partner late last month.
