Here you will find information on the investment process which USS uses, the investment philosophy and process employed by the London Investment Office to achieve superior benchmark performance.
The USS Investment Committee sets an asset allocation benchmark based on advice from both its external and internal advisers.
This is designed to provide excess return over the liabilities in the longer term.
In setting the benchmark, the Investment Committee has regard to risk relative to the liabilities.
The London Investment Office (LIO) is responsible for management of the assets relative to this benchmark using mainly in-house investment management teams.
