The Local Government Pension Scheme is navigating simultaneous structural change, regulatory pressure and operational scale-up. The next phase will be defined less by policy announcements and more by execution, governance and people. Understanding what this means in practice for the LGPS community has never been more important.

Widely regarded as the forum that takes the temperature of the LGPS, the LGC Pension Insight Symposium brings together pools, funds and sector practitioners to examine how these changes are playing out on the ground and what they mean for decision-making, governance and investment strategy.

The symposium is an LGPS-led event, with senior representatives from pools and funds sharing candid insights into their priorities, constraints and evolving investment needs. These perspectives are critical in helping the wider community better understand the realities facing LGPS investors.

With a protected audience balance of 60% fund managers and 40% LGPS officers, the event is deliberately designed to foster meaningful dialogue in a friendly, relaxed environment. The programme combines expert-led discussion on stage with over eight hours of dedicated formal and informal networking, enabling deeper conversations and stronger relationships. I

n a rapidly evolving landscape, the symposium’s core aim is to provide clarity exploring the impact of the structural change and the expanding regulatory framework, while offering practical insight into the current and future LGPS investment environment.
