Universities scheme plans first seeding fund stake

The £30bn USS fund's new move aims to improve hedge fund governance

The Universities Superannuation Scheme, the largest UK pension scheme after the BT pension scheme, with over £30bn of assets, is looking to invest in a seeding fund for the first time.

It is considering plans to invest in a seeding fund, which takes stakes in a number of hedge funds in return for a share in profits. It will also use the stakes to improve corporate governance of the hedge funds in which the seeding funds invest.
