Contract win

Selected by £35bn UK local government pension pool as private markets adviser

 

MJ Hudson (AIM: MJH), the specialist service provider to the asset management
industry, is pleased to announce it has won a multi-year contract to advise
the ACCESS local government pension scheme ("LGPS") Pool on its illiquid and
private markets investments. This is expected to be a multi-million Pound
contract, over the next seven years.

 

ACCESS is a collaboration of 11 LGPS Authorities, which enables investments on
behalf of more than one million members and 3,250 public sector employers.
These consist of almost £35bn of pooled pension assets, as of 31 December,
2021.

 

Matthew Hudson, CEO of MJ Hudson Group plc:

 

"We are delighted at this strong endorsement of our track record and expertise
in private markets. As leading institutional investors seek to allocate more
capital to private markets, we look forward to helping UK pension plans
capture the potentially long-term strong returns available through careful
investment in alternative and longer-term investments, and in turn support
more than one million pension scheme members, in their retirement.

 

"High levels of activity in the private capital markets, such as private
equity, debt and infrastructure is helping support significant Company
progress. This is an excellent example of MJ Hudson's growing brand helping us
win highly competitive mandates, and the ability of our services to support
some of the largest institutions in their engagements with private capital
markets."

About MJ Hudson

 

MJ Hudson is a specialist service provider to the US$100 trillion+ asset
management industry, with a focus on its fastest growing segment, private or
alternative investments (which include private equity, venture capital,
private debt, real estate, infrastructure and hedge funds).

 

As outlined at IPO in December 2019, our growth strategy is to develop and
acquire new products and services that are needed by our core customer base of
asset managers and institutional investors and to extend this customer base in
the key markets of North America, Europe and Asia. Our strategy benefits from
the underlying expansion of private markets  and the continuing and growing
need for outsourcing and specialist advice as regulation and competition makes
operating more challenging for our clients.

 

Founded in 2010 by CEO Matthew Hudson (a lawyer and former private assets
 fund manager), we have grown quickly to now support more than 1,000 clients,
including 18 of the FTSE 100. Our business is transatlantic, with clients
clustered around the major asset management centres of Europe and North
America. Our team of 288 staff works out of 10 offices in those same centres.
