LONDON – 25 June 2025 - Van Lanschot Kempen Investment Management UK Ltd has been appointed to deliver a bespoke £100 million private markets mandate.
The new strategy is tailored to meet the long-term goals of a UK pension fund through a highly customised portfolio of private equity and infrastructure assets, paired with a funding approach which links the discount rate to the long-term asset portfolio. This approach places emphasis on a long-term investment strategy and enables the scheme to focus on high-conviction investments in private markets.

The £100 million mandate is structured to provide access to Van Lanschot Kempen’s specialist capabilities in private equity and infrastructure – markets where scale and access have traditionally posed a challenge for institutional investors that were previously limited by allocation size. This approach will build a bespoke portfolio, allowing for greater control, enhanced ESG integration, and significant cost savings. Importantly, the solution has been reviewed and tested by a leading independent investment consultant.

Nikesh Patel, Managing Director, Head of Client Solutions UK, at Van Lanschot Kempen, commented: “This mandate reflects a growing demand for more bespoke, cost-efficient access to private markets. We believe solutions of this kind can be transformative for institutions that were previously constrained by allocation amount, enabling investors of all sizes to access and benefit from the opportunities private markets have to offer.”

Van Lanschot Kempen Investment Management NV, which manages £6.7 billion in private market strategies, brings extensive investment expertise in building diversified portfolios across primary funds, secondaries, and co-investments. The mandate structure allows for customisation that would typically require £500 million in assets when using traditional platforms.
