LAPF Strategic Investment Forum 2021 | DG Publishing Ltd | 5 July 2021 | The Grove, Chandler's Cross, Watford WD3 4TG, UK

The LAPF Strategic Investment Forum is the leading investment conference and dinner for senior LGPS fund investment officers and their advisers. It is organised by DG Publishing and attracts high quality officers in strong numbers.

Our established voice in the local authority pension fund sector, through LAPF Investments and the Pension Funds Performance Guide, uniquely places us to reach an evolving market place where key LGPS investment issues change much more frequently than they used to. We enjoy a very strong relationship with the sector, and have published our 15th issue of our LGPS yearbook, the Pension Funds Performance Guide.
