mallowstreet LGPS Indaba

Important

Delegates are expected to attend the full event. We do understand that this is a time commitment in diaries. Please do let us know if you need to step away for a call/meeting.

Join us for the mallowstreet LGPS Indaba which will bring together investment executives and Trustees from various LGPS pools as well as representatives from individual local authorities around the UK. We will look at the current challenges facing local authority pension schemes, hear from expert keynote speakers and run four Investment Masterclasses hosted by forward-thinking asset managers looking at asset allocation and strategy in the LGPS arena.


The LGPS Indaba is available for CPD accreditation by the Pensions Management Institute and is exclusively for pension funds and their advisers.


*An Indaba (pronounced in-dar-bah) is an important conference held by the izinDuna (principal people) of the Zulu or Xhosa people. The term comes from a Zulu language word meaning "business" or "matter".
