The Fiftyfaces Podcast

Show Notes

A special bonus episode brought to you in conjunction with the Always a Pensions Angle Podcast, by D G Publishing. This podcast was recorded in January 2026 at their conference in Windsor.

Richard Tomlinson has responsibility for management of all investment and client activity at LPPI. He has more than 20 years of investment experience. Prior to joining LPPI in 2017, Richard was Head of Portfolio Advisory (EMEA) at Albourne Partners for six years where he advised European investors on alternative investments, portfolio construction and risk management. Earlier in his career, he was Head of Multi-Strategy at Old Mutual Asset Managers and prior to this an analyst at GNI Fund Management.

Our conversation covers the evolution of their product mix as the pool grows, the development of the advisory function, the opening of an office in Bristol as the pool expands, and their core mission: paying pensions as they fall due, affordably and efficiently. We also take the crystal ball out to look at what the next five years may hold.

Richard features on The Fiftyfaces Podcast later in Series 2 of 2026.
