Royal County of Berkshire Pension Fund Investment Strategy Statement Consultation

Overview

The Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead, as administering authority for the Royal County of Berkshire Pension Fund, is launching a consultation on its draft Investment Strategy Statement (ISS).

Why your views matter

This survey asks for your views on the Investment Strategy Statement (ISS), which sets out how the pension fund invests its money.

You can read the full document here: Draft Investment Strategy Statement

The Investment Strategy Statement (ISS) outlines how the investment risk and return issues are managed relative to the Fund’s investment objectives.

The ISS sets out how money that has been received from scheme members’ and employers’ contributions will be invested. The value of those investments does not affect the value of pension benefits – these are guaranteed as the LGPS is a Defined Benefit scheme.

Stakeholders are invited to have their say on the Fund’s investment objectives and beliefs, including whether the ISS properly reflects the Fund’s existing responsible investment priorities, and proposals for its new local investment approach.

Your response will not affect the pension benefits members receive, and we may not be able to act on all feedback.

Under the Local Government Pension Scheme (Pooling, Management and Investment of Funds) Regulations 2026, LGPS funds must publish an ISS, consult with the Local Pension Board, scheme employers, scheme members and other stakeholders, and keep it under regular review.

We welcome responses by Friday 20 November 2026.

Data collected will be treated in accordance with the our consultation privacy notice.
