The brief

In response to the Government’s criteria for pooling assets, Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) Central has decided to build a Collective Investment Vehicle (CIV) structure to pool investments.

The CIV model will include an Operator, which will be incorporated as a private company.

The Operator will also be set-up as an alternative investment fund manager (AIFM) and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).

The Operator will manage a Pool containing a number of vehicles, including an Authorised Contractual Scheme (ACS) and other vehicles (e.g. limited partnerships), yet to be confirmed.

A Shareholders’ Forum (consisting of the Pensions Committee Chairs of the participating authorities) will act as the Supervisory Body of the Operator.

A Practitioners’ Advisory Forum (consisting of Pension Fund Officers) will support the Shareholders’ Forum and act as the day-to-day liaison between the Shareholders’ Forum and the Operator.

The deadline for the establishment of the outlined structure is 1st April 2018.

As such, LGPS Central is now seeking advice and hands-on implementation support and delivery as set out below.

What this notice demands of you

1 named, none in explicit obligation language. Each one is quoted from the notice.

FCA authorisationRegulator registrations
The Operator will also be set-up as an alternative investment fund manager (AIFM) and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).

Matched against the notice text, so this is a floor — the tender pack will demand things the notice never mentions. “Says must” means the quoted sentence itself used obligation language; anything ambiguous is left as a mention.
