Transcript
We wanted to design a solution that unlocks hidden investment opportunities for pension schemes, making sophisticated strategies available in a simplified and affordable package.
Our private asset portfolio includes unique investments with long investment horizons, but was typically only accessible to schemes with significant scale.
We have changed that now.
A broader range of schemes can benefit from deep, diverse and previously inaccessible assets without sacrificing that flexibility.
A fund structure lowers the barriers of scale, cost, and complexity. Making private assets in a diversified portfolio across sectors and vintages more accessible.
We can focus on what matters most, which is delivering consistent, reliable outcomes for you.
The decisions we make are geared towards your long-term success and our stability that the trust you place in us today can be repaid now and well into the future.
We have the flexibility to prioritize sustainable long-term value creation that matches the time horizons of your scheme, liabilities.
And because we're already operating at scale, we have the infrastructure, resources, and expertise to help schemes that haven't always been able to access more sophisticated solutions.
We've been dedicated to one thing, delivering pensions for more than 75 years.
We face the same challenges that many pension schemes have faced, and we've adapted to changing market needs and regulations, but our core commitment remains the same since we've been through it ourselves.
We genuinely understand what you are dealing with and the ways we can help.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
-
What is TPTIM’s ownership model?
TPTIM is owned by a pension scheme, with no external shareholders. Its singular focus is on consolidation, ensuring its interests are in line with its members.
-
What asset classes can schemes access through TPTIM's in-house funds?
Pension schemes taking advantage of TPTIM’s fiduciary management service have access to four collective investment vehicles, with three further funds launching later in 2024.
The Real Assets Fund, Secure Income Fund, Liquid Alternatives Fund and Private Credit Fund have been seeded with a combined £2.25 billion of capital from TPT’s DB Master Trust.
The funds have been designed by TPTIM to provide pension schemes with access to a wide range of investment strategies. These collective investment vehicles enable pension schemes to immediately achieve scale benefits across asset classes by aggregating with the assets in the Master Trust.

This ensures technology and tools are aligned with client needs and offer real-world solutions.
-
Could TPTIM favour its parent, Verity Trustees, over scheme members?
No. TPTIM’s governance structure and fiduciary duty to scheme members help to manage conflicts, underpinned by a robust Conflicts of Interest Policy.
-

Yes. TPTIM is fully accountable to its trustees and scheme members. There are governance structures in place to make leadership or strategy changes, if necessary, to protect the interests of pension schemes.
