In Episode #16 of IPE’s Leaders in Investment podcast series, IPE Editorial Director Liam Kennedy speaks with Barry Kenneth, Chief Investment Officer of the Pension Protection Fund.

Barry Kenneth, Chief Investment Officer of the Pension Protection Fund – the £32bn UK pensions  ‘lifeboat’, speaks with IPE Editorial Director Liam Kennedy about seizing opportunities in the wake of the 2022 gilt crisis, his thoughts on interest rate duration, and equity investment as a key driver of growth.

“Rather than have an investment target, we have a risk target. That focuses the mind slightly differently.  It’s a subtle difference, but I think it changes the mindset of how we think about investment.”

In this podcast series from IPE and IPE Real Assets, members of our editorial team speak to leading figures in the institutional investor community to curate a library of in-depth, focused content.

The result will be a valuable library of downloadable insights into what motivates both individuals, teams, boards and trustees as they set about achieving their long-term investment goals with a view to improving the retirement outcomes of hundreds of millions of pension holders.
