Productive Finance Working Party – members

Application closing date: 25 May

The IFoA is seeking to appoint 6 to 10 members to join this new working party focused on productive finance. Both IFoA members and suitably experienced non members working in related fields are welcome to apply.

The UK typically has lower capital investment than its peers. This issue has risen up the policy agenda, with the government actively trying to incentivise increased investment in UK assets within the pensions sector. This working party will explore this asset class and highlight ways investors can access it alongside some of the current barriers to investment.

The IFoA Infrastructure Working Party has covered adjacent topics with an infrastructure focus, but this new working party on productive finance will explore broader private market opportunities (for example private equity, private credit and real estate)

Potential areas of work and outputs include:

• Producing a research paper, and a range of blogs and shorter articles
• Providing input into IFoA responses to consultations 
• Contributing to IFoA webinars, events or conference sessions in relevant areas
