LGPS fund representative organisation The Local Authority Pension Fund Forum (LAPFF) has reappointed corporate governance and shareholder advisory consultancy PIRC as its research and engagement partner.

Following a tender process, PIRC will help LAPFF deliver a responsible investment programme, including company research, engagement and shareowner initiatives.

Alan MacDougall, PIRC’s managing director, said “We are proud to have retained LAPFF as a client and we look forward to implementing the innovative and challenging activities of the work programme for the forum executive over the next phase of LAPFF’s development.”

PIRC was first appointed by LAPFF in 1998 and has been successful at each subsequent tender review.

LAPFF has 82 LGPS scheme members and six asset pooling companies, with assets of more than £300bn.
