Request

I am looking for the quarterly cashflow information of all your private capital investments (private equity funds, venture capital funds, real estate funds, private debt funds, infrastructure funds, natural resource funds, etc.) made since the inception of the individual investments in digital format. If the investment reports are not available since inception, the earliest records on hand will suffice.

The details per quarter for each investment should ideally include the standard data such as: Investment (Fund) Name; Vintage/Year; Period/Date; Capital Calls; Distributions; Remaining Value/Net Asset Value; Net IRR; Net Multiple.

Please note that these details would have already been provided to firms such as Preqin, Pitchbook and others in the past for each quarter.

The NHS Business Services Authority (NHSBSA) received your request on 9 August 2024.

We have handled your request under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) 2000.

The scheme guides advise the following:

Pension Scheme Fund

The NHS Pension Scheme does not have an invested pension fund as per private sector pensions, but as a statutory scheme, benefits are fully guaranteed by the government.

Contributions from both members and employers are paid to the Exchequer, which meets the cost of Scheme benefits
