Barnet commits £55m to Adams

London Borough of Barnet is set to invest £55m with the Adams Street 2019 Global Fund.

The council has updated its portfolio of investments that also includes a commitment of $32m (approximately £25m) that has been made to the CBRE Global Alpha fund as part of the proposal to invest 10% of its investments in property.

Half of the CBRE commitment ($16m) was invested on 28 June. The remainder is expected to be called during Q3, 2019.

A report to councillors said: “The committed funds will be drawn down over a period of approximately five years as investment opportunities arise.”

Until recently, the FRC had little involvement in local government affairs. But with investigations into council officers becoming more frequent, where is the political accountability?
