The London Pensions Fund Authority (LPFA), an £8bn Local Government Pension Scheme, has appointed Tegs Harding as a new member of its board.
Harding is an established professional trustee and Head of Sustainability for Independent Governance Group (IGG). She brings experience across various pension scheme sectors, including Defined Contribution (DC) master trusts, Defined Benefit (DB), and Collective Defined Contribution (CDC) schemes. Tegs is a qualified actuary and a Fellow of the Institute of Actuaries and has a deep understanding of pension finance, risk, and the wider regulatory environment. She also holds a CFA certificate in Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Investment and is an Accredited Member of the Association of Professional Pension Trustees (APPT).
Prior to her move into trusteeship, Haring built a career in investments. She began her career in 2005 at an investment bank before moving to an insurance company in 2008. For the next decade, she served as a senior investment consultant at Mercer, where she designed and implemented changes in investment strategy across a broad range of public and private asset classes.
Harding brings extensive experience chairing investment committees for several large schemes, including a large defined contribution master trust. She also chairs the funding and investment committee for the UK’s first CDC scheme.
John Preston, Chair of the LPFA said: “Tegs Harding is a fantastic addition to the LPFA Board. Her experience in pension governance, deep actuarial knowledge, and strong commitment to sustainable investing will be invaluable as we navigate the evolving LGPS landscape.”
