Hampshire seeks private debt manager

Hampshire Pension Fund is seeking an investment manager for a £325m private debt mandate.

The fund has launched a tender for a single manager, who will be expected to target UK three-month LIBOR plus 4% a year.

Hampshire Pension Fund was valued at £6.6bn in March 2018 and has a strategic asset allocation to private debt of 5%, which is a new addition to its investment strategy.

The tender document said that the successful manager will be expected to effectively deliver a “bespoke fund of funds”.

The adoption of artificial intelligence in local government could be just as much about maximising available resources – essentially doing more with less – as it is about making immediate financial savings or efficiencies.
