Summary
Border to Coast, the UK Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) pool, is preparing to make its first commitment from its latest global value-add real estate programme, according to an article by Charlotte D'Souza on Investors. Portfolio manager Paul Campbell said secondaries are high on the list of options the pool is considering.
The programme is described as global in scope, with the article tagging exposure across Asia-Pacific, Europe and North America and a range of strategies including core, indirect, opportunistic and value-add real estate. The pool's approach reflects a broader allocation framework that spans the risk spectrum rather than a single-strategy commitment.
PERE also covered the story under a similar headline, noting the same plans for global real estate fund commitments. The available reporting does not disclose the target commitment size, the identity of the prospective managers, or the timing of the first commitment beyond the pool being in preparation.
For allocators, the report signals that Border to Coast is building out its global real estate exposure through fund commitments, with secondaries a notable focus. Further detail on manager selection and commitment amounts would be needed to assess the programme's scale and return targets.
