London authority moves £125m to low carbon fund

London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham has switched £125m from UK equity to a low carbon fund.

The council’s pension fund plans to sell out of an allocation to Majedie’s UK equity fund, moving the entire investment to a low-carbon tracker fund run by Legal & General Investment Management (LGIM).

The costs include a transition manager at £800,000 and selling out to cash will cost £1.4m.

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?
