UK-based pension fund consultancy Pensions for Purpose has expanded its advisory group, bringing in 12 new members to add to its eight retained advisers. New advisory group members will serve three-year terms until November 2027, offering strategic guidance on market developments, shaping educational initiatives and helping advance sustainable and impact investing within the UK. Pensions for Purpose said the appointments represent a “major strengthening” of sustainable investing expertise within the UK institutional investment and asset management industries. New advisers include Piers Lowson, Director of investment management firm Baillie Gifford, Kathy Ryan, Chief Sustainability Officer at global investment manager M&G, and pension scheme Universities Superannuation Scheme‘s Non-executive Director Helen Shay. “This breadth of expertise across the investment chain – from the most large and influential to small impact-focused boutiques – demonstrates the growing momentum behind sustainable investing and reinforces [our] commitment to driving change amongst key institutional investor audiences,” said Pensions for Purpose. Charlotte O’Leary, the firm’s CEO, added that the new members’ “collective expertise and diverse perspectives will be invaluable as we continue to advance our mission of promoting sustainable and impact investment”.
