LCIV seeking permanent chief executive

LGPS pool London Collective Investment Vehicle has started its search for a new, permanent chief executive.

LCIV has published a job advert for the role, which has been held on an interim basis by Mark Hyde-Harrison since December 2017.

The requirements of the role include the “ability to work successfully in a complex multi-stakeholder environment where influence is as important as direction,” according to the ad.

The chief executive will be responsible for strategy, and the development and performance of sub-funds.

It calls for “extensive knowledge and experience of asset management and/or pension funds at high level”.

Hyde-Harrison joined LCIV from his role as head of defined contribution strategy at Willis Towers Watson, and is a former chair of the National Association of Pension Funds (now the Pensions and Lifetime Savings Association), replacing the inaugural chief executive, Hugh Grover.

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?
