Barry Kenneth, Chief Investment Officer of the Pension Protection Fund
Description
In Episode #16 of IPE’s Leaders in Investment podcast series, Barry Kenneth, Chief Investment Officer of the Pension Protection Fund – the £39bn 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.”
