TLDR:
- BVCA calls for pensions investment roadmap to increase UK investment
- Proposed roadmap aims to address issues surrounding UK pension funds’ reluctance to invest
The British Private Equity & Venture Capital Association (BVCA) has called for the development of a pensions investment roadmap to increase UK investment. The BVCA believes that there are significant barriers preventing UK pension funds from investing in crucial areas, and this roadmap aims to address these issues.
According to the BVCA, UK pension funds have historically shied away from private investment, particularly in venture capital and private equity, despite the potential for high returns. The proposed roadmap seeks to provide clarity and guidance for pension funds on how to navigate these investment opportunities.
The BVCA’s initiative comes at a time when private capital in Europe is being reimagined, and the need for increased investment in innovative industries is becoming more apparent. By providing a clear roadmap, the BVCA hopes to encourage UK pension funds to diversify their portfolios and tap into the potential offered by private equity and venture capital investments.
This call for a pensions investment roadmap highlights the growing importance of private capital in driving economic growth and innovation. By addressing the barriers that have traditionally kept UK pension funds at bay, the BVCA seeks to unlock new opportunities for investment and stimulate growth in key sectors of the economy.
