Paddy is currently Assistant Director at Greater Manchester Pension Fund with responsibility for Property, Local Investments and GLIL sitting on the Investment Committee. The GLIL partnership is the first of its type in the LGPS and has an initial mandate to invest £4.5bn into direct infrastructure in the UK. The partners are looking to encourage collaboration within the LGPS on investment in infrastructure and believe that scale and appropriate governance structures can enhance returns. Northern Pool has led the way in the LGPS investing in housing and property development in its local area with the twin aims of achieving commercial returns for the Funds whilst having a positive impact on the local economy. Paddy has significant experience of investment in a wide range of assets including listed securities, infrastructure, private equity, and property and has previously worked at Merseyside Pension Fund. Paddy is due to start at LGPS Central in April as Investment Director - Local Investments.
