The National Association of Pension Funds (NAPF) has appointed Helen Roberts to lead its work on investment issues.
Roberts joined the NAPF earlier this month from F&C Asset Management, where she was head of government bonds for more than 13 years. Previously, she was head of UK gilt and inflation-linked bonds at Hermes Investment Management.
Led by policy director Darren Philp, her work will include considering the implications of the economic outlook for funds when trading off risk and return, and deepening the NAPF’s awareness of alternative asset classes and the diversification strategies being used by pension funds.
Philp said: “We are delighted that Roberts has joined us at a time when a lot of change is taking place in the pensions world. Her wealth of experience will be an invaluable boost to our policy work on investment.”
