Blackrock
Lewisham Council is reviewing its engagement with investment manager BlackRock, as other councils discuss pension fund investment strategies.
Lewisham's Pension Investment Committee is reviewing its engagement with BlackRock, an investment management corporation, following feedback received during a meeting with the company in December 2025.
Pension committees across several councils, including Southwark, Ealing, Greenwich, Westminster, Kensington and Chelsea, and Hammersmith and Fulham, are scheduled to discuss investment performance and strategy in September and July 2026.
Previously, Westminster Council's Pension Fund Committee considered BlackRock as a preferred option for a passive global equity mandate in July 2025, as part of a plan to reinvest £398 million after divesting from another manager.
