Imagining the Britain of tomorrow
Border to Coast is the long-term steward of £120 billion of LGPS Partner Fund assets. As part of the LGPS our collective aim is to ensure that millions of vital workers can have confidence about their retirement income.
Our role means we have very long time horizons. We do everything we can to manage and mitigate long-term risks around our investments, while taking opportunities for growth.
It is against this backdrop that we have launched a series of thought pieces under the banner Future Britain.
The series explores the major trends that will shape our world, our country, our investment landscape, the lives of LGPS members in the decades ahead from the end of car ownership and 150-year lifespans to the era of connected ‘megacities’ and implantable health technology.
The aim? It is not to predict the future, but to provoke thoughtful discussion and conversations. We think about investing over decades. We’d like to help others do the same.
Scroll down to explore the series, with a new piece posted each week.
Methodology and approach
This report is based on multiple sources of information and thinking. It draws on the ideas and experience and insight of the expert Border to Coast investment team. We have also had input from partners and peers in the investment sector. For clarity, this report is the work of Border to Coast and does not reflect the views of any of our partners. Nor does it represent investment advice or constitute any statement of intent to allocate assets by Border to Coast. The aim here is to provoke debate and thinking, not to make definitive predictions.
