Committee to debate investments

11 February 2025

On 28 March the Avon Pension Fund Committee will meet to review its aerospace and defence investments.

This follows significant work which the Fund has already undertaken, following petitions in December and appeals from Bristol City Council to divest from aerospace and defence companies which supply Israel.

The pension fund has £18m or 0.3% of its £6 billion assets invested in such companies, which primarily supply NATO partners and the UK government.

Investments and conflict-affected areas

17 December 2024

We’ve received questions about our investments, particularly those in aerospace and defence industries. The Pension Committee on 13 December was also asked about our investments in companies whose products are used by the Israeli military.

The Committee will review the statements and the legal and financial position, and consider the issue at a public Committee meeting in early 2025.

Annual Report 2023/24: a year of progress

3 December 2024

It has been a year of encouraging progress and development.

The Fund is in robust financial health, with an improved 98% funding level at 31 March 2024.

This improved position has enabled us to deliver stable employer contributions, critical given ongoing strain in local government finances.
