Avon Pension Fund to launch survey on defence investing

Published: August 22, 2025

The Avon Pension Fund is set to launch a survey which will ask members whether it should continue investing in aerospace and defence companies. 

Taking place between 1 and 16 September, it’ll see 20,000 randomly selected members sent the survey, with the aim of receiving at least 1,000 responses. The results will be published later this year, with Prevision Research commissioned to conduct both the survey and subsequent analysis.  

It comes after months of calls for the fund, which has £18m, or roughly 0.3% of its portfolio, invested in defence companies, to stop investing in these two sectors by some of its members.
