Summary

Open Council Network is an independent organisation. We report on Scottish Borders and are not the council. About us

The Pension Fund Investment and Performance Sub-Committee was scheduled to receive updates from investment managers and discuss the performance and approach of the fund. The meeting agenda included a review of previous minutes and a briefing paper from an investment manager, followed by presentations from IFM, CBRE, and Nuveen.

Investment Manager Briefing Paper

The committee was scheduled to consider a report by Isio, an investment consultancy. This briefing paper would have provided an overview of the fund's investments and performance.

Presentations from Investment Managers

A significant portion of the meeting was allocated to presentations from three investment managers:

  • IFM: A presentation from IFM was scheduled, covering their investment strategies and performance. The full presentation documents were provided for completeness.
  • CBRE: The committee was set to receive a presentation from CBRE. Both a full and a condensed version of their presentation were included in the agenda papers, with the condensed version intended for delivery during the meeting.
  • Nuveen: A presentation from Nuveen was also on the agenda, providing details on their investment activities and outlook.

Summary Discussion

Following the presentations, a dedicated item was scheduled for a summary discussion. This would have allowed members of the committee to discuss any matters arising from the presentations and to summarise their views on the performance, approach, and key issues identified in relation to the investment managers.

The meeting was scheduled to take place at the Isio Offices, Floor 4, 6 St Andrews Square, Edinburgh, New Town, Edinburgh, EH2 2BD. The committee membership included Councillor D. Parker (Chairman), L. Douglas, C. Hamilton, D. Moffat, S. Mountford, S. Scott, T. Weatherston, and Ms K M Hughes. The meeting was scheduled to begin at 2:00 PM on Monday, 22 June 2026.

The agenda also included standard procedural items such as apologies for absence, order of business, declarations of interest, and the consideration of minutes from the previous meeting held on 23 February 2026. Provisions were also made for any other urgent items or previously circulated matters. A motion was to be considered to exclude the public from the meeting for certain items, citing the likely disclosure of exempt information under the Local Government (Scotland) Act 19731.


  1. The Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973 is a piece of legislation that governs the powers and responsibilities of local authorities in Scotland. Section 50A(4) relates to the exclusion of the public from meetings when exempt information is likely to be disclosed. Schedule 7A of the Act specifies the types of information that can be considered exempt.
