LifeSight joins Mansion House Accord to invest in private markets

London, 13 May 2025 – LifeSight, WTW’s defined contribution master trust, has announced its support for the Mansion House Accord, in which signatories express an intent to invest 10% of growth assets in private markets.

LifeSight intends to integrate these investments into its main default funds, ensuring members benefit from these opportunities without any increase in existing fee agreements. LifeSight is already introducing unlisted assets that are aligned with the Mansion House Accord.

LifeSight’s scale and independence enables it to access attractive investment opportunities under the “private market” definition in the Mansion House Accord at competitive fees. This allows it to invest in sectors such as infrastructure, property, private equity and other key areas that are crucial for economic growth.

Jelena Croad, Head of LifeSight GB, commented: “Signing up to the Mansion House Accord is a significant step for LifeSight. We believe that private market investments can increase overall returns as part of a diversified portfolio and have already begun investing in this way.

“Our ability to invest in private markets, without increasing existing fee agreements, showcases our dedication to providing the best possible outcomes for our members. We are excited to be part of this initiative and look forward to contributing to the growth of the economy in which our members live.

“We are pleased that the government acknowledges the need to increase the pipeline for UK private market investment opportunities. This recognition aligns with our mission to support the growth of innovative firms and sustainable infrastructure within the UK, ultimately enhancing the retirement incomes of millions of UK pension savers.

“For LifeSight members, these investments are being made as part of our main default funds, ensuring that our members benefit from high-quality investment opportunities”.
