Pension Fund Performance and Portfolio of Investments as at 30 September 2017 Report of the Director of Finance and Resources
Additional documents: Minutes: The Director of Finance and Resources submitted a summary of the performance of the Pension Fund, together with a portfolio of the Fund’s investments, as at 30 September 2017.
The Panel were informed that the Fund had a market value of £4.8 billion as at 30 September 2017; the highest reported to date. Over the quarter the Fund returned 1.7%, slightly outperforming its strategic benchmark by 0.1%. The best performing asset classes relative to their benchmarks were UK Equities and the Alternatives pool. Allocations to low returning Corporate Bonds and Cash were marginal detractors from performance.
The Fund had outperformed its strategic benchmark in the year to date and 3 and 5 year time periods. Annualised returns over both 3 and 5 years were in excess of 11% per annum, well above the investment return assumptions used by the Actuary as part of the triennial valuation.
RESOLVED – That the Pension Fund Investment performance and the portfolio of investments for the quarter ended 30 September 2017 be noted. |
