The Wiltshire Pension Fund has awarded a £140m (€170m) multi-asset, global emerging market mandate to Investec Asset Management.
The mandate will mainly focus on equities and bonds.
The pension fund said Investec was chosen ahead of 16 other managers.
In other news, Bayerische Versorgungskammer (BVK), Germany’s largest public pension fund, has entered an agreement with Pantheon for a new global private equity investment strategy.
The programme will see Pantheon invest in primary buyout, growth equity and venture capital across developed and emerging markets, as well as secondary co-investment.
BVK and Pantheon’s relationship dates back several years.
The pension fund, which has its own in-house management team, lists Pantheon as one of its core managers, following a rationalisation of external resource in 2013.
Elsewhere, multi-manager SEI has given Neuberger Berman a $220m (€161m) mandate for emerging market debt.

It replaces Ashmore Investment Management.
Finally, Legal & General Investment Management (LGIM) has chosen software provider Misys to manage its trading and risk activities for fixed income and liability-driven investments.
