Our investments

Providing best-in-class, cost-efficient investment solutions for Defined Benefit and Defined Contribution pension schemes.



Welcome to TPT Retirement Solutions' investment page. Here you can find out more about how we invest, our Defined Benefit investments, Defined Contribution investments and our investment beliefs.

TPT’s Investment service provides best-in-class, cost-efficient investment solutions through:

- a clear governance framework;
- investment strategy setting and design;
- dynamic asset allocation using leading investment managers; and
- transparent reporting to all stakeholders.

Governance

The Trustee's Statement of Investment Principles (SIP) and its Investment Beliefs provide a decision making framework, incorporating both TPT's long-term investment philosophy and its commitment to Responsible Investment. 

Investment Beliefs

This document outlines the way we work, and are used by our Investment Committee and Chief Investment Officer when making decisions and agreeing investment strategy.
Our beliefs

Statement of Investment Principles (Defined Benefit)

Our Statement of Investment Principles (DB) defines the policies and principles that we work to in order to manage our members’ investments.
Our principles

Statement of Investment Principles (Defined Contribution)

Our Statement of Investment Principles (DC) defines the policies and principles that we work to in order to manage our members’ investments.
Our principles

Russian investment exposure

TPT manages a diverse portfolio, our exposure to Russian assets is very low with total holdings representing only 0.03% of its £12bn Defined Benefit portfolio. The Defined Contribution portfolio’s exposure to Russia in the default funds is circa 0.22% of its £2.3bn portfolio. 

TPT are actively engaging with our investment managers to ensure we fully comply with all relevant sanctions and regulations and we anticipate a further reduction in our Russian exposure.

Our purpose is to always act to protect the best interests of our members and employers and make investment decisions accordingly.


Our team

Our Investment Management Team is based at our London office and is led by our Chief Investment Officer, Cliff Speed. The Investment Management Team develops and oversees our investment strategy, which is set by the Investment Committee, a sub-committee of the Trustee Board.

The Investment Committee agrees the overall asset allocation and works with the Investment Management Team to oversee the selection and monitoring of TPT's external Investment Managers.  

Below, Cliff tells Professional Pensions how we manage investments, where we're heading and our holistic approach to risk.


Our aim is to provide best-in-class, cost-efficient investments for our existing and future employers and individual members. To do this, it's essential that we manage risk effectively and deliver strong returns.

Our Investment Management Team works with TPT's Investment Committee and Investment Managers to make investment decisions, delivering our investment strategy. 

We have £14.1 billion of assets under management (as at 30 September 2021), split between our Defined Benefit (DB) and Defined Contribution (DC) pension schemes. 

How We Run Our Money - Cliff Speed tells Carlo Svaluto Moreolo of IPE how TPT is trying to develop a portfolio that can withstand market volatility.
