Top pension funds sign up for infrastructure investment

摘要

A number of the UK's largest pension funds have signed up to a new platform designed to channel investment into infrastructure. The National Association of Pension Funds (NAPF) said it has now achieved the "critical mass" of investors required for the Pensions Infrastructure Platform (PIP) to move to the next stage of development. The PIP was established by the NAPF and the Pension Protection Fund after the chancellor George Osbome's November 2011 pledge to attract up to £20bn in institutional investment into infrastructure projects.
