Pension fund investment in UK science a ‘major shift’

But Treasury official says getting investment from pension schemes won’t be “revolutionised overnight”

Pensions funds in the UK have made a “major shift” in starting to invest in science, but this change in behaviour will not be “revolutionised overnight”, a Treasury official has said.

Sam Dickson, head of access to finance at HM Treasury, explained that “getting investment from UK pension schemes flowing into UK startups and tech companies is not a simple business”.
