US EditionGovernment hails new agreement with pension providers to boost investment in UK firms
- Seventeen workplace pension providers signed the voluntary Mansion House Accord in May 2025 to boost investment in UK firms and grow savers' assets.
- The Accord builds on the 2023 Mansion House Compact and raises the target to allocate at least 10% of defined contribution default funds to private markets by 2030.
- Signatories commit to investing at least half of that 10%—or 5% of total funds—in UK assets if suitable investment opportunities exist, supported by government and industry leaders.
- The government estimates the Accord could release £25 billion into the UK economy by 2030, enabling investment in infrastructure, clean energy, and start-ups, as Chancellor Rachel Reeves stated.
- The Accord aims to strengthen long-term UK investment, diversify pension portfolios, and improve retirement security, but success depends on a steady supply of quality investment opportunities.
