Put £10bn pension pot into homes, says RIBA

摘要

A wide-ranging report commissioned by the RIBA into the future of housing in the UK will call for local government pension funds to invest £10bn in homes for private rent, writes Joey Gardiner. Sir John Banham, chair of RIBA's Future Homes Commission, said the report, to be launched in the next few weeks, will say there is potential for the 15 biggest council pension funds to put 15% of their assets into a fund, raising £10bn to invest in private rented housing, thereby stimulating the construction of new homes.
