ACCESS Private Equity Allocators
Notice Description
The Authority is seeking to appoint up to two Private Equity Allocators to manage and grow the Private Equity Mandates of the ACCESS Pool members.

The ACCESS Pool is a collaboration of 11 like-minded Local Government Pension Scheme Authorities, investing the pensions of over one million members, delivering strong investment performance, achieving greater cost efficiency and benefiting from the best of local authority procurement. Further information regarding the ACCESS Pool can be found here: https://www.accesspool.org/.
