LGC Investment Seminar 2022

** A WELCOME LETTER FROM LGC FEATURES EDITOR, MARTIN GEORGE**

It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the in-person LGC Investment Seminar 2022. It feels like a long time since we last gathered at Carden Park!

Back in February 2020, the biggest topic of conversation as we travelled to Cheshire were the floods that were all too visible from the train window, and after I recorded a podcast at the seminar the LGC website noted that we discussed “the potential impact of Covid-19 (briefly)”. Little were we to know what was just around the corner!

Now as we gather again, hopefully with the worst of the pandemic behind us, another terrible international event that could have profound but unpredictable consequences is holding our attention.

But while the effects of the invasion of Ukraine on the LGPS will no doubt loom large, there is no shortage of other vital issues on agenda, from levelling up to climate change. I hope you will enjoy exploring all these issues throughout our time in Cheshire.

After such a long interval, I hope you will savour reacquainting yourself with old friends and colleagues, and making new ones, back in the physical world. I can’t wait to meet you all again!

And while you are here, please do have a look at the LGC investment news booth on Swapcard, which contains highlights of our recent LGPS coverage and commentary, including exclusive research on net zero, Russian investments and the latest LGPS fund accounts.
