A survey of Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) fund professionals reveals that the vast majority would like to increase their investment in the health sector.

Published by Alpha Real Capital, the poll of 100 LGPS fund professionals found that 94% view the health sector as a good area to invest in. This was followed by 58% who identified housing and 51% who cited education.

The research also reveals a particular appetite for health investment opportunities in the primary care sector with around two-thirds (67%) of LGPS fund professionals saying this sub-sector was of interest.

Ed Palmer, CIO and head of Sustainability, Alpha Real Capital said: ‘Investing in the Health sector offers LGPS funds the opportunity to achieve stable long-term returns while also supporting the essential health-related services on which their members and wider communities rely.’
