Investment returns in 2013 were reasonably strong. The Growth (Pooled) Fund, in which well over half the Scheme’s assets are now invested, performed well both in absolute terms (8.6%) and against benchmark (3.5%), propelled by another “double digit” year for the equities in which more than 40% of that fund is invested. The Growth Fund will not, however, match the performance of equities; rather, it is designed to balance out the risks and volatile returns associated with single-asset strategies by investing in a wide range of assets, targeting a long-term return of 5% per annum above UK RPI inflation.
