People’s Pension appoints Robeco to manage £3.6bn emerging market equity portfolio

People’s Pension has appointed Robeco to manage its £3.6bn emerging market equity portfolio.
This moves the pension scheme from a passive to an active quantitative strategy for its emerging markets investments.
The aim is to achieve higher risk-adjusted returns and better align with the scheme’s responsible investment policy.
People’s Pension made the decision after seeing structural challenges in emerging markets and indices and wanted an investment approach that allows for long-term, risk-controlled outcomes.
Robeco was chosen after a nine-month selection process run by the equity team at People’s Partnership, the provider of People’s Pension.
The process considered seven key factors, including performance, portfolio construction, team resources, risk management, firmwide considerations, responsible investment, and partnership capabilities.
Mark Condron, chair of the People’s Pension trustee board, said: “Today’s announcement is fantastic news for our seven million members as Robeco is committed to enabling us to deliver the very best returns.
“Forming strong partnerships – such as the one we are forging with Robeco – is central to our strategy.
