On May 13, 2025, some 17 of the UK’s largest pension providers signed a voluntary Mansion House Accord, expressing intent to invest 10 per cent of their DC default funds (£50bn) in private equity by 2030.
As a collaborative launched by the Pensions and Lifetime Savings Association, the Association of British Insurers and the City of London Corporation, the Accord’s 17 signatories have pledged to allocate at least five per cent of their DC default investment in UK assets. This amounts to more than £25bn of UK investment.
The aim of the Accord is to facilitate access to high-returning investment for DC savers, as well as boosting investing in UK assets. It specifies that UK investments are dependent on “a sufficient supply of suitable investible assets” and highlights the need for “critical enablers” by the Government and regulators.
