About us

Many UK pension savers have been locked out of private markets and unable to access the higher return potential these markets have offered other investors. With two-thirds of UK pension savers projected to be unable to meet their retirement income needs, generating higher returns is important.

At Future Growth Capital, we’re unlocking private markets. We are focusing the private markets and pensions expertise of two of the UK’s largest financial organisations, Schroders and Phoenix Group, to make private markets accessible to UK pension savers.

We invest in private markets globally and in the UK. Global private markets offer investors the opportunity to diversify into new sources of return. In the UK, private markets offer a wealth of investment opportunity to tap into. We offer both global ex-UK and UK-specific private markets solutions, managed by the same team and process, allowing investors to choose their preferred allocation to each.

Research suggests the pension savings of some 14 million working-age people in the UK are projected to be insufficient to deliver the retirement incomes they expect*. There is a real need to boost pension savings and close the gap between expectations and current reality.

We believe generating higher investment returns over the long term can meet that need. By harnessing the higher return potential of private markets we aim to generate those higher returns for pension savers.

Our specialist private markets solutions team, one of the largest in the UK focused on UK pension funds, is experienced in solving the operational, governance and investment challenges pensions funds face when investing in private markets.

At Future Growth Capital we offer expert asset allocation, portfolio construction, manager research and implementation skills to help clients access private markets efficiently. Our solutions aim to capture the long-term returns of private markets, while also delivering a more consistent, less volatile investment path over time for pension savers.

We are helping businesses to start and scale by funding critical real assets, such as wind farms and other key infrastructure development projects, promoting economic growth and employment. We aim to deliver for UK pension savers, not only by growing their retirement savings, but by also building a more prosperous Britain for them to retire into.
