Dear Mr Roberts

The piece in Professional Pensions on 17 October 2002 headlined “PPI urges increased investment in hedge funds” referred to remarks made by Ros Altmann. Ms. Altmann is one of our 67 Governors, but speaks in her personal capacity. 

I would be grateful if you could draw the attention of your readers to the fact that the Pensions Policy Institute has not made any recommendation on the investment of pension schemes in hedge funds.Indeed, the PPI has not researched the issue.

Yours sincerely

Alison O’Connell
