Transition from London CIV Global Equity Quality Fund to BlackRock's passive global equity fund

1 story · 1 council

Westminster Pension Fund's performance is being monitored amidst its transition to BlackRock's passive global equity fund.

The Westminster Pension Fund's performance is currently under scrutiny, with a report to the Pension Board in March 2026 indicating it underperformed its benchmark over the past year and three years. The fund achieved a 1.57% net return for the quarter ending December 2025, but this fell short of its fixed weight benchmark by 0.97%, according to Phil Triggs, Tri-Borough Director of Treasury and Pensions.

This performance is being assessed amidst the fund's ongoing transition from the London CIV Global Equity Quality Fund to BlackRock's passive global equity fund, a project involving the movement of assets between investment funds. No further council discussions or decisions regarding this transition are currently scheduled.
