In conversation with Liam Kennedy, Editorial Director, IPE

In this episode of Leaders in Investment, Chris Hitchen, one of the UK’s most experienced pension fund professionals, shares insights from a career spent managing long-term capital and institutional portfolios. As chair of the Nuclear Liabilities Fund, he oversees one of the country’s most genuinely long-term pools of capital. The conversation explores how investors can position portfolios for the future while balancing opportunity, resilience and responsibility.

The conversation also includes the role of non execs and trustees in institutional investment, why allocations to domestic infrastructure and private markets opportunities can make sense, insights on building out  in-house teams and a long-term focused investment culture and private markets across the pension spectrum, including DC.

“It’s natural for us to want to invest in things which will benefit UK citizens.”

In this podcast series from IPE and IPE Real Assets, members of our editorial team speak to leading figures in the institutional investor community to curate a library of in-depth, focused content.

The result will be a valuable library of downloadable insights into what motivates both individuals, teams, boards and trustees as they set about achieving their long-term investment goals with a view to improving the retirement outcomes of hundreds of millions of pension holders.
