London & Quadrant Housing Trustee Staff Benefits Plan has published its Statement of Investment Principles for year end May 2025.
In May 2025, the Trustees of the London & Quadrant Housing Trustee Staff Benefits Plan began exploring the inclusion of illiquid assets within the Plan’s default investment strategy. This research is driven by recent improvements in the defined contribution (DC) market landscape that enhance the feasibility of incorporating such assets. The Trustees identified the potential benefits of diversification and improved long-term returns from illiquid assets as key factors motivating this exploration.
The Trustees are not committing capital immediately. Instead, they have adopted a cautious approach, waiting for the market to mature and for relevant products to establish a proven track record of performance and reliability. This prudent stance is aimed at ensuring alignment with the Plan’s objectives, risk tolerance, and fiduciary duties. The Trustees will closely monitor product developments and performance in this asset class before any investment decision is made (Statement of Investment Principles – May 2025, page 5).
