Episode 356: Bonus Episode: Trevor Castledine Chief Client Officer of LGPS Central: Collaboration with Always a Pensions Angle
The Fiftyfaces PodcastShow Notes
What are the challenges of growth? What are opportunities? What if you get to create a client advisory function from scratch? Where would you start?
In this special bonus episode - one of five that we will be launching every Friday for the next four weeks - is part of a special collaboration with Always a Pensions Angle Podcast by DG publishing. A few months ago at a conference hosted by DB Publishing I sat down with five leaders across the LGPS to capture their thoughts on the current state of transition among the asset pools.
Trevor is a friend and long term contact of mine on the LGPS circuit. We first worked together at Lancashire County Pension Fund over 10 years ago, were co-advisers at South Yorkshire Pensions Authority and I'm now so pleased to see his success at LGPS Central, where he is Chief Client & Advisory Officer.
Trevor has extensive LGPS and broader investment management experience and has worked as an investment consultant recognised as a leading expert in private market investment. Trevor has been a member of the LGPS community since working as Deputy CIO at Lancashire County Pension Fund (LCPF) and then Deputy CIO and Investment Director for Private Credit at LGPS pooling entity LPPI.
In this podcast we dig in to what it means to create a client advisory role, ask about whether there is any conflict inherent in being both client and shareholder, on the part of the Administering Authorities and discuss the importance of applying internal rigour.
