Drew Henley-Lock

I lead LCP’s responsible investment advice to DC clients, which includes advising some of the largest own-trust pension schemes in the country, as well as DC pension providers, on their responsible investment strategy.

I am also a senior researcher in LCP’s manager stewardship team, leading LCP’s work on how investors can address nature loss, and a member of LCP’s Climate Scenarios Working Group. My masters in Environment and Sustainability gives me a depth and breadth of knowledge and conceptual understanding to inform the qualitative judgements required where data is patchy – as is so often the case at the cutting edge of responsible investment.

I have provided practical, specialist advice to several clients on how to balance competing sets of stakeholder demands while addressing climate in their investment strategy. Most recently, this has included detailed advice to an LGPS scheme on the evidence for divestment versus engagement in the context of the UK fossil fuel sector and the design of a detailed engagement and escalation pathway.
