Oxfordshire selects LGPS Central as its preferred pooling destination
Published: September 10, 2025
The Oxfordshire Pension Fund has selected LGPS Central as its preferred new home, becoming the 13th fund to select its preferred destination.
It leaves eight funds looking to find a new home by the end of this month – these being Avon, Buckinghamshire, Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, the Environment Agency, Gloucestershire, and Somerset.
Reflecting on its decision, the Oxfordshire Pension Fund said: “We have been consistently impressed with the senior leadership team at LGPS Central, which gives us confidence that, working in partnership, we can not only deliver but exceed the government’s vision for the LGPS.
“We believe that LGPS Central, operating at scale, can drive even greater value and performance than those already achieved. Our shared mission remains clear: to provide secure pension payments for our scheme members and deliver long-term value for scheme employers.”
It becomes the second Brunel fund to select its preferred new home after Wiltshire announced its preferred pooling partner, also LGPS Central, back in July.
Richard Law-Deeks, chief executive of LGPS Central, said: “We are delighted that Oxfordshire has confirmed their intent to join LGPS Central following a thorough review.
“We look forward to supporting a smooth transition that will benefit all partner funds and scheme members.”
