Outstanding individual contribution - service provider

Sam Gervaise-Jones - bfinance

Arguably both the most challenging and most rewarding aspect of pooling is delivery of private markets investments. The opportunity to provide access to previously inaccessible investment areas, to drive local and impact investment, and to do so while delivering fee and operational efficiencies is massive. Sam Gervaise-Jones has been supporting the LGPS for 20 years and has been uniquely positioned to influence pool private market developments across the industry. His support for Wales Pension Partnership has delivered an innovative, highly cost effective Private Markets approach that is already delivering for stakeholders and serves as an inspiration for all!

Abbie Llewellyn-Waters - Jupiter Asset Management

Since joining Jupiter in 2006, Abbie Llewellyn-Waters has dedicated her investment career to sustainable investing. Acknowledging the importance of industry collaboration, Abbie works with several industry initiatives - including as an author for the CFA Institute’s Certificate in Climate and Investing. We believe that Abbie has shown considerable commitment to the LGPS not only in the design and management of the Jupiter Global Sustainable Equity strategy to support achievement of their investment and sustainable outcomes, but also in her continued contributions to industry bodies such as Pensions for Purpose, PLSA, CFA Society of the UK and the LGC.

Guinevere Taylor - Cardano

Guin has a 14 year track record within the LGPS space, starting as a client services representative in Schroders in 2011 to becoming Head of LGPS Relationships earlier this year. She has helped clients to navigate through the tricky initial pooling periods and the rise of sustainable investing. Wherever possible Guin is a helping hand for her clients, arranging training or sharing resources where needed. She has spoken at LGPS events on subjects she is passionate about, such as DE&I and hopes to continue working with the forward thinking, market leading LGPS space for many years to come.
