LGPS Central, the pool for eight Midlands-based local authority funds announced two key appointments to its private- and public market teams.
Mark Davies, who has been with the pool since 2018 will take over as head of public markets while Nadeem Hussain, who joined in 2020, will take the lead on private markets.
Davies joined LGPS Central’s public equities team following a two-year tenure at Derbyshire Pension Fund. During his time at the fund, he played a key role in managing their equity investments, both directly and through funds. Prior to that, he worked for multiple asset managers including Sanlam Four and Schroders.
Hussain takes on the role of head of private markets with more than 15 years of experience across infrastructure and un-listed assets. Among others, he worked as investment director at a global infrastructure fund. Prior to this, he worked as a corporate financier for one of the ‘big four’ accounting firms, providing strategic advice to fund managers.
Both Hussain and Davies will be reporting to LGPS Central CIO Gordon Ross.
Their appointment come at an important time for the pool, which has last year announced significant expansions of its private credit holdings. The pool is also in the process of implementing a new active global equity mandate as part of its Global Equity Fund.
