Kathryn-Graham,-BT-Pension

Graham is a director of BT Pension Scheme Management (BTPSM), the £35 billion ($56.8 billion) pensions advisory arm of the BT Pension Scheme, the largest in the UK. Graham joined BTPSM in 2004 to help establish a team mandated to invest up to 5% of the BT scheme directly into single manager hedge funds.
Graham is enthusiastic about the returns hedge funds can give to institutional investors and in particular pensions funds. “We invest in hedge funds really for the diversification, the lack of correlation that they bring to a pension fund portfolio,” she said. Graham also said the skill of hedge funds managers gives her pension scheme access to “the sort of people we otherwise wouldn’t be able to access in a pension fund portfolio”.
