The Scheme returned 6.7% p.a. over five years to the
end of June 2026, in line with its long-term return
objecve. Returns were stronger over shorter periods.
While the Scheme lagged the benchmark over the one,
three and five-year periods, it met its long-term
objecve over five years and exceeded it over three
years.
The Scheme was valued at £1.7bn on 30 June 2026, up
from £1.6bn at the start of the quarter . The Scheme
remained significantly overweight Listed Equity, at
60.9% compared with a Strategic Asset Allocaon (SAA)
target of 49.0% and was also overweight Credit and
Cash. This posion offsets underweights to Private
Equity, Infrastructure and Private Credit, which are
being built over me. The agreed implementaon plan
will use the Equity and Credit overweights to fund
increased private market allocaons.

Over the quarter, global markets delivered strong returns despite periods of vola&lity. Investor sen&ment improved as geopoli&cal tensions eased towards the end of the
quarter, while con&nued investment in AI infrastructure supported equity markets. Technology and growth-oriented sectors performed par&cularly well, while fixed
income delivered mixed returns as bond yields remained elevated.
Within asset classes, Listed Equity was the main contributor to returns during the quarter ending June 2026, benefing from strong global equity markets. Infrastructure, Private Credit
and Other Alternaves also contributed posively. Maintaining a diversified allocaon across a range of asset classes connued to support the Scheme's long-term objecves.
The London Borough of Hillingdon Pension Scheme had a value of £1.7bn on 30 June 2026. Listed Equity remained by far the largest allocaon at 60.9%, while Credit and UK Government
Bonds represented 8.8% and 6.0% of assets, respecvely.
The Scheme's Strategic Asset Allocaon (SAA) implementaon plan was agreed during the quarter, with implementaon acvity expected to commence shortly. The plan consolidates
Public Equity holdings and rebuilds private market allocaons over me.
The Scheme remained significantly overweight Listed Equity relave to its SAA target, offseGng underweights to Private Equity, Infrastructure and Private Credit. Approximately £55m
of undrawn commitments, together with new commitments idenfied in the implementaon plan, are expected to increase private market exposure over me.
Over the 12 months to 30 June 2026, the Scheme returned 16.6%, compared with 18.2% for the benchmark. The Scheme's long-term return objecve is 6.7% p.a. The Scheme returned
11.8% p.a. over three years and 6.7% p.a. over five years, exceeding its objecve over three years and meeng it over five years.
Looking ahead, the key iniaves that will be worked upon are:
- The Scheme's Public Equity holdings and begin funding new private market commitments in line with the agreed implementaon plan.
- Reduce the Property allocaon over me and return capital from the London CIV IREP as liquidity becomes available.
- Agree on Responsible Investment priories and local investment opportunies.

Macro
Markets Update
Macro
• In the second quarter of 2026, investors navigated
between two compeng themes; the U.S.-Iranian
conflict and the AI boom.
• The quarter’s defining geopolical theme was the
Middle East conflict and the uneven path to
peace. A fragile April ceasefire was repeatedly
tested before a peace agreement was reached on
14 June. The quarter closed with the peace
holding, albeit tenuously, and shipping traffic
through Hormuz gradually recovered.
• Inflaon reaccelerated in the quarter to June 2026
as the Iran conflict pushed energy prices higher -
Brent crude reached an intraday high of $126 at
the end of April before sePling at around $73 at
the end of June. As a consequence CPI rose from
3.8% in April to 4.2% in May in the US, and in the
U.K CPI held at 2.8%. As a result, Central bank
policy pivoted away from easing. The European
Central Bank raised its deposit rate for the first
me since 2023, liQing it 0.25% to 2.25% in June,
with officials signalling a further move in
September remained possible. The Federal
Reserve held rates steady at its June meeng, and
the Bank of England kept rates at 3.75% in both
April and June.

Macro
• The AI boom emerged as a powerful
countervailing force to the energy shock,
reshaping the global growth and market narrave
as the quarter progressed. With a percepon of
peace in the Middle East, “risk” assets performed.
As can be seen from the chart opposite, all major
equity markets posted double digits for the 3
months ending June 2026.
• Government bond markets were volale. U.K. 30-
year gilt yields increased to 5.76% in early May - a
28-year high - as traders priced in mulple Bank of
England rate hikes. The US 30-year Treasury yield
reached its highest level since 2007 in mid-May at
5.19%, as global inflaon expectaons led to a
synchronised sell off in bond markets.
• Public credit markets experienced a more
nuanced quarter . US investment-grade spreads
ghtened to their narrowest levels in mid-May,
spurring a record pace of corporate bond issuance
Notably, SpaceX's inaugural $25 billion
investment-grade bond issue aPracted almost
$90 billion of demand.
• Currency markets were shaped by the diverging
rate outlooks between the U.S. and Europe. The
Euro weakened progressively through the
quarter, falling below 1.14 against the U.S. dollar
in late June — it's lowest since June 2025 — as
markets priced in a more aggressive Fed
ghtening path relave to the ECB.
Page 8
Markets Update (con&nued)
Macro
• Gold's mul-year bull run came under severe
pressure during the quarter . Having surged to
record highs in early 2026, bullion fell below
$4,000 per ounce for the first me since
November as a resurgent U.S. dollar and rising
rate expectaons brought the three-year rally to a
halt.
• Despite strong equity returns in aggregate over
the last 3 months, the table opposite shows there
was considerable variaon across regions.
Furthermore, it highlights the dominance of US
listed stocks in the index.
• The asset class valuaon chart at the boPom right
compares asset classes relave to the end of
2025.
• As markets set course for the second half of 2026,
the outlook appears calmer but remains far from
sePled. The Iran peace deal has eased the storm
that dominated Q1 and much of Q2, while the AI
investment cycle connues to provide a strong
tailwind for growth. Yet inflaon remains above
target in both the U.S. and U.K., monetary policy
is sll ghtening, fiscal pressures are mounng,
and the Hormuz ceasefire has yet to prove
seaworthy. With risk premia sll rebuilding and
geopolical currents unsePled, investors may find
that careful navigaon and stock selecon maPer
more than simply sailing with the de.

U
Equity:
The quarter to the end of June 2026 was very posive for equie s despite the
volale nature of the macro and geopolical environment. Th e 15.7% return for the
MSCI World saw many indices pushing on to record highs and rep resented equies
best quarter since 2020.
As with the previous quarter the standout performer was Emer ging Markets
(EM). The MSCI EM index was up 22.1%. This significant outper formance versus the
rest of the world was driven largely by incredible momentum d riven rallies in AI &
technology heavy countries such as South Korea and Taiwan. This, however, masks
a decline in Chinese equies.
The quarter saw a strong rebound for “growth” and “momentum” factors. Within
technology, chip and equipment suppliers (the AI “sellers”) outperformed the large
hyperscalers (i.e. MicrosoQ, Amazon, Google) who are sll s pending heavily on AI
infrastructure. Investors appear to be increasingly rewarding near-term profitability
over speculave capital spending.
Overall, corporate earnings in the quarter were ahead of expectaons; around 85%
of S&P 500 companies beat profit forecasts and 81% beat revenue forecasts. Year-
on-year earnings growth accelerated to roughly 30%. Growth was broad-based
across 11 of the 12 major sectors, not just technology.
UK equies parcipated in the rally but lagged most major mar kets, reflecng the
FTSE's lower weighng to technology.
Going into the second half of the year things to watch include:
- the need to monitor valuaons that have risen alongside pric es: the S&P
500 ended the 6 months to end June 2026 at close to 20x forward earnings,
above its long-run average, leaving less room for disappointment if earnings
growth slows.
- Concentraon risk persists despite the broadening in leadership, the largest
technology stocks sll account for around a third of the MSCI All World
index.
- China remains a source of divergence within Emerging Market s, reflecng
weak domesc demand, property-sector strain and regulatory pressure on
its technology sector .
- The Middle East ceasefire is recent and has already shown sign s of fragility.
- A more hawkish Federal Reserve under its new chair is a change from
market expectaons at the start of the year and warrants monitoring, given
its influence on discount rates and equity valuaons globally.
UK Government Bonds:
Gilts delivered a modestly posive return in the quarter to end of June 2026. Looking
from afar, returns over the quarter seemed benign despite the polical changes that
occurred in the UK. The reality was that May saw Gilts yieldsrise significantly before
calming across June.
Longer dated gilts were more volale in the quarter . The mark et dealt with the
impending arrival of Burnham as prime minister with relavecalm.
Credit:
In a repeat to the previous quarter the credit markets remain ed an oasis of calm
when compared to the high levels of dispersion seen across Equity strategies. Having
widened marginally in March when the Iran conflict started, c redit markets moved
ghter in the quarter to the end of June 2026. This resulted insmall mark to market
gains on top of interest income across the credit spectrum.
While credit markets appear “fully” priced, the underlying credit quality of
corporates globally looks healthy and so jusfies the pricing to a certain extent.

Private Equity:
Overview:
The first six months of 2026 have reinforced that the Private E quity recovery is sll
showing signs of progress but remains narrow and uneven rather than broad-based.
Market acvity has improved from the weaker 2023–2024 period, yet the recovery
is being led by selected higher-quality assets and larger tr ansacons, while overall
deal volumes remain more subdued.
The backdrop over this period therefore suggests a market moving from dislocaon
into selecve normalisaon. The opportunity set is improving, but future returns are
likely to be driven less by broad mulple expansion and more b y manager skill in
sourcing, underwring, operaonal delivery, exit ming an d capital structure
discipline.
Deployment & Financing Trends:
A key development through the first half of the calendar year h as been the
connued shiQ from volume-led to convicon-led deployment. Private Equity firms
appear more willing to transact where there is clear downsid e protecon, resilient
revenue quality, defensible market posioning or idenfiab le operaonal upside,
but remain cauous on assets exposed to uncertain exit mulp les, AI disrupon,
energy-price volality or wider macro risk.
The lower and middle market has remained relavely acve, pa rcularly where
businesses are viewed as operaonally understandable, less exposed to technology
displacement and capable of supporng value creaon without aggressive leverage.
This has helped sustain deal flow in more tradional, defensive or service-oriented
sectors, even as larger technology and soQware assets face more selecve scruny.
The first six months of 2026 have also highlighted a clear divergence between deal
value and deal count. Larger transacons and selected mega-deals have supported
headline acvity levels, but this should not be read as a fullreopening of the market.
Beneath the headline numbers, the market connues to reflect fewer transacons,
more disciplined underwring and a preference for clearer sector and exit theses.
Valuaon and financing condions are becoming more stable, b ut not necessarily
easier. Debt markets are more open but higher financing costs and more
conservave leverage assumpons connue to shape bid disci pline (to avoid
overpaying for companies). This supports a more cauous und erwring
environment, parcularly where sellers remain anchored to older prior-cycle
valuaon expectaons.
Exit & Liquidity Trends:
Exit acvity remains the principal constraint on the cycle.While exit condions have
improved direconally versus the downturn years, the recovery is sll incomplete:
strategic sales are carrying much of the liquidity burden, p rivate equity-to-private
equity acvity is more selecve, and IPOs remain available o nly for a narrower set
of larger higher-quality or bePer-posioned companies.
The praccal implicaon is that investor liquidity remains under pressure. 2026-to-
date has not yet delivered the breadth of distribuons required to reset fundraising
condions fully, so distribuons, realised exits and evide nce of cash returned to
investors connue to maPer more than paper value creaon or unrealised marks.
Fundraising Trends:
Fundraising developments in the first half of the calendar year also point to a more
concentrated market. Capital appears to be favouring estab lished pla%orms with
stronger realised track records, credible exit pathways an d the ability to
demonstrate por%olio liquidity, while smaller, emerging o r less differenated
managers face a more difficult raising environment.
Outlook & LP Implica ons:
The outlook for Private Equity is improving but remains selecve rather than broad-
based. For instuonal investors, this points to maintaini ng deployment discipline
while priorising managers that can evidence realised exit s, consistent generaon
of distribuons and credible liquidity pathways, rather th an relying on unrealised
mark-ups or a cyclical recovery in valuaons. In pracce, th e environment should
favour pla%orms with strong originaon, operaonal value c reaon capability,
prudent financing assumpons and clear exit discipline, whi le connued pressure
on distribuons and concentrated fundraising reinforce the need to be selecve on
pacing, manager access and por%olio construcon.

Asset Class Update
Private Credit:
Overview:
The first six months of 2026 have reinforced that Private Cred it remains structurally
supported, but the market is moving into a potenally more demanding phase. The
asset class connues to benefit from borrower demand for flexi ble non-bank
financing and investor appete for income, yet the backdrop i s less benign than in
the earlier period of rapid growth. Floang-rate income and contractual cash flows
connue to support returns, but higher-for-longer financing costs, borrower margin
pressure and sector-specific disrupon are making credit selecon more important.
Pricing, Spreads & Terms:
A notable development over the first six months of 2026 has bee n the modest
widening of spreads aQer a period of ghter lender economics . This is because of
more cauous underwring in technology and soQware-relate d loans, some
pressure in Business Development Company (‘BDC’) and other similar wealth-
channel vehicles (which may actually prove to improve compe ve dynamics for
more instuonally focussed lenders) - and a renewed focus o n ensuring that
lenders are adequately compensated for risk.
While wider spreads are direconally favourable for new len ding, they should not
be read as uniformly posive. The improvement in lender econ omics is occurring
alongside greater borrower stress in some cases and a real re inforcement of the
need for: (i) more scruny of leverage capacity; and (ii) a mo re conservave
approach to documentaon, covenant protecon and downside structuring.
Deployment & Market Ac vity:
Originaon acvity in the first half of the year has remained m ore measured than
many market parcipants expected, reflecng a sll uneven M&A environment and
connued cauon around Private Equity deployment. There con nues to be
growing deal-flow across alternave (to direct lending) str ategies including credit
secondaries and asset-backed financing, as such are demonst rang an ability to
provide helpful diversificaon to core direct lending expos ures which have
historically been where most of the investor capital has been directed.
The opportunity set is therefore improving, but in a more nuanced way than a simple
volume recovery would suggest. Well-capitalised managers should benefit from
bePer pricing and selecve deployment opportunies, whileweaker borrowers and
less differenated borrowers may face a more difficult refinancing environment.
Credit Quality &Risk Trends:
Credit stress in first six months of the 2026 appears to remain largely idiosyncrac
rather than systemic, but warning indicators have become mor e visible. Areas of
focus include consumer-exposed businesses, higher-value legacy assets and
soQware & technology credits affected by AI disrupon.
Fundraising & Capital Forma on:
Fundraising over the period has highlighted a shiQ in invest or appete away from
undifferenated direct lending and toward a broader mix of Pr ivate Credit
strategies. Opportunisc credit, credit secondaries and asset-backed finance appear
to be receiving greater aPenon as investors look for differe nated sources of
return and downside protecon.
Capital formaon also remains concentrated among larger, e stablished pla%orms
with deep originaon networks, restructuring capability a nd stronger por%olio
transparency. For investors, this reinforces the need to disnguish between scale as
a structural advantage and scale as a potenal source of crow ding or return
compression.
Wealth Channel & LiquidityConsidera ons:
The wealth channel has become a more important area of scrun y in the first six
months of 2026. Redempon limits and gang pressures in semi -liquid vehicles
highlight the tension between relavely illiquid underlyi ng loans and investor
demand for periodic liquidity, parcularly aQer several ye ars of rapid growth in
evergreen structures.
For instuonal investors, this is less a reason to avoid Pri vate Credit than a
reminder that fund structure maPers. Closed-end, drawdown and evergreen
vehicles can offer materially different liquidity profiles, v aluaon dynamics and
investor behaviour, even where the underlying credit exposures appear similar .
Page 12
Markets Update (con&nued)
Asset Class Update
Outlook & LP Implica ons:
The backdrop seen over the first half of the calendar year sugg ests Private Credit
remains aPracve as an income-oriented allocaon, but outc omes are likely to
become more manager-specific as the market moves from rapid e xpansion into
selecve maturaon.
UK Property:
Since the start of the year, recovery in theUK property market has stalled as buyers
and sellers remain cauous amid geopolical uncertainty, d omesc polical
developments, and the level of interest rates. Commercial p roperty investment
volumes reached £10.2bn in Q2 2026, down 20% on the previous q uarter . While
acvity remains below long-term averages, transacon volumes are higher than the
subdued levels seen in 2023, when higher interest rates and f alling capital values
weighed on investor demand. Pricing has soQened in parts of t he market,
parcularly logiscs and living sectors. In the industrialsector, investors are cauous
about high prices i.e. compressed yields and in the housing m arket affordability
pressures are front of mind. As a result, all-property total returns moderated to
around 6% in the 12 months to 30 June 2026 from the mid-6% range three months
earlier. Prime yields across most sectors now sit close to 10 -year highs apart from
retail parks where limited supply connues to support pricing.
Income is a key component of the total return from commercial property. For the
12 months to end June 2026, income accounted for roughly 95% o f the 12-month
total return, with capital appreciaon accounng for around 5%. This highlights the
importance of contractual rental income as the primary driv er of returns in the
current market environment. While vacancy levels vary across sectors, ranging from
low single digits in residenal and retail to around 20% in th e office market, rental
growth has remained broadly posive. Annual rental growth h as generally been in
the low-to-mid single digits across property sectors, supporng income returns and
demonstrang the robustness of occupier demand.
In summary, although transacon markets remain cauous, con strained occupier
markets connue to support rental growth and underpin the se ctor's income-led
returns.
Infrastructure:
At a generic level, private Infrastructure delivered returns of approximately 10% per
annum gross of fees. In 2025, power generaon and ulies wer e the strongest-
performing sector, followed by digital infrastructure. Th ese sectors are being
supported by accelerang electricity demand from electrifi caon, expanding data
centre capacity and demographic trends in selected markets.
In 2026, three themes are persisng: project finance and AI da ta centres, how
renewables depend on policy makers and the bifurcaon of the market, and the
impact of the Middle East conflict. These themes are explored below:
- Project finance acvity surged 53.6% to $682.7 billion, driv en by a 64.1% jump in
primary financings, as hyperscalers' data centre buildouts translated into record
volumes. Capital connues to gravitate toward AI and data centre themes, with the
US leading an AI-driven digital transformaon that has prop elled a “power
supercycle” in the sector .
- Renewables are presenng a mixed and increasingly policy-sensive picture in 2026.
In the US, legislaon required physical construcon to begin by 4 July 2026 to qualify
for full federal tax credits. This triggered a 'use it or lose it' wave of transacons, as
developers raced to monese safe-harboured posions before the window closed.
However, beneath this policy-driven rush, underlying dealvolumes soQened in 2025
as buyers pivoted towards established developer pla%orms a nd de-risked, Power
Purchase Agreement-backed por%olios rather than greenfiel d projects. Europe
faces issues with slow permiGng and grid connecon boPlenec ks connuing to
delay project development.
The recent geopolical events in the Middle East have affecte d the Infrastructure
asset class in several ways including:
- Energy: The reinforcement of energy security as a key policypriority, with increased
emphasis on domesc generaon capacity to reduce dependenc e on imported
energy.
- Transport: Disrupon to air passenger travel albeit that passenger volumes remain
above prior-year levels on a year-to-date basis (Internao nal Air Transport
Associaon as of April 2026).
Page 13
Markets Update (con&nued)
Asset Class Update
- Shipping: the fact that free access to waterways may not be a given and how crical
certain sea channels are to global logiscs.
Fundraising acvity was subdued in the first half of 2026, with Infrastructure funds
raising approximately $40 billion (Source: Infrastructur e Investor based on final
closes), represenng a new low following record levels in 2025. Further, as is being
seen elsewhere in private markets, flows are favouring very l arge fund managers
like KKR where fund raises are oQen more than $10bn.
Looking ahead, the outlook in general looks stable. Within the renewable sector, the
key swing factors will be the post-deadline normalisaon of US deal flow now that
the tax credit safe-harbour window has closed, and whether E uropean permiGng
and grid reforms can unlock the large pipeline of consented-but-stalled projects.
Other Alterna&ves:
It is hard to generalise about nature-based soluons as a market given its diversity;
it ranges from mberland, row crops (cereals and beans), per manent crops (fruits
and nuts), alongside more Private Equity soluons and carbo n offsets etc. Within
this spectrum there are core stabilised iniaves and others that seek to change the
use of land and the way the land is operang. Below are some the mes that are
emerging from around the world:
- The EU is facing its most damaging cereal season in years, dri ven by repeated
heatwaves. The US wheat forecasts are also expected to be down. Furthermore,
there have been some headwinds with increased input costs li ke fuel and
ferliser .
- In Canada and Russia wheat producon is rotang into other higher value crops
like oilseed.
- The US mber market remains soQ weighed down by a weak housing market.
That said there is an expectaon of a measured recovery with i ncreased
consumpon and a soQening of volume as supplies from Canada r educe
reflecng US tariffs but also from infecon, wildfires and land set-aside.
- Geopolics can also affect agricultural commodies be that i n the cost of
transportaon or just regions being affected by uncertainty i.e. Ukraine’s
producon.

Investment Performance
Commentary
The Scheme returned 8.9% over the quarter, and 16.6% for the 1 2 months to end June 2026.
The Scheme's long-term return objective is 6.7% p.a.
Performance was in line with the benchmark over the quarter, with the Scheme returning 8.9%, matching the benchmark. The Scheme returned 16.6% over the 12-month period,
compared with 18.2% for the benchmark.
Over the longer term, the Scheme returned 11.8% p.a. over 3 ye ars and 6.7% p.a. over 5 years, exceeding its objective over 3 years and meeting it over 5 years.
Positive returns over the quarter were driven primarily by L isted Equity, supported by strong global equity markets. Cr edit, Infrastructure and Other Alternatives also contribu ted
positively.
The underperformance relative to the benchmark over longer time periods is mainly due to the build up of the private marke ts programme. As these exposures are drawn it is
not uncommon for funds not to generate target returns.
Periods such as this demonstrate the benefits of a diversifi ed portfolio. While returns can differ from the benchmark ov er shorter periods, the Scheme remains positioned to
meet its long-term investment objective.

Private Equity
Investment Strategy Summary
The Scheme is significantly underweight Private Equity rela ve to its Strategic Asset
Allocaon target of 8%. The exisng Adams Street and LGT holdings are mature and
returning capital. Rebuilding this allocaon is a key eleme nt of the implementaon plan,
which idenfies commitments to a London CIV Private Equity soluon once available.
Por?olio Ac&vity
There were no significant transacons over the quarter .
Investment Performance
Holdings across Adams Street and LGT reflect investment acv ity which is ~15+
years old. Capital has largely been returned and as such is notgenerang meaningful
performance contribuons. Programme returns since incep on (i.e. over the
previous ~20 years) have largely been reasonable (and posive) when compared to
returns generated from the asset class and decreases in NAVs are aPributable to
the connued returning of investor capital as the programmes mature.

Property
Investment Strategy Summary
The Scheme's Property allocaon is slightly above its 8% Str ategic Asset Allocaon target.
The implementaon plan ancipates a gradual reducon in Pro perty as proceeds become
available from LCIV IREP .
Por?olio Ac&vity
The LCIV IREP soluon commenced in April 2025. The por%olio isapproximately 95% UK and
5% Global. Over a 3-year transion, sub-investment manager CBRE IM intends to move it
towards the agreed 50% UK and 50% Global target model por%olio.
AEW UK Core Plus Property Fund (currently in LCIV IREP) remain s suspended while the
manager progresses asset disposals and asset management in iaves. AQer the current
reporng period, AEW proposed a managed wind-down to return capital to investors in an
orderly way while seeking to maximise the remaining por%olio's value.
The Schroders Real Estate Fund is suspended following significant redempons, so investors
without exisng redempon requests cannot currently redee m. The manager is selling
assets to meet some redempons. The proposal clarifies the cu rrent plan, but progress
depends on a successful sale and investors accepng exposure to the residual por%olio. An
extraordinary meeng is expected before year-end to determine the final pathway.
BlackRock UK Property Fund, also within LCIV IREP , increasedits redempon dealing charge
following liquidity pressures and the need to sell assets below valuaon. BlackRock expects
this to be temporary, but concerns have been raised about the adjustment's ming,
communicaon and methodology. London CIV remains engaged w ith BlackRock and CBRE
IM.
Investment Performance
IREP UK performance has primarily been affected by AEW UK Core P lus Property
Fund, reflecng its connued suspension and asset realisaon programme, and by
weaker returns from Patrizia Hanover Property Unit Trust an d UNITE UK Student
Accommodaon Fund. Posive contribuons from Tritax Londo n Logiscs Unit
Trust, Industrial Property Investment Fund and M&G SecuredProperty Income Fund
partly offset these effects, highlighng the resilience of log iscs and income-
focused real estate strategies.
While short-term LCIV IREP Global performance remains below benchmark due to
performance fee accruals, while since-incepon returns are broadly in line with the
strategy's 10% p.a. target return objecve.

Por?olio Ac&vity
There were no significant transacons over the quarter .
Investment Performance
The LCIV Infrastructure Fund’s underlying holdings have broad ly performed in line

impacted by sector underperformance across renewables and fibre (across four
underlying fund investments: Macquarie MGREF2, Capital Dynamics CEI VIII, Equix
VI and Basalt BIP III represenng ~40% of NAV as of Q1 2026) andmacro headwinds
(increased discount rates and adverse currency movements). Performance to date
has also been supported by an income yield albeit lags expect aons because of
delays seen in moving greenfield assets through to operaons .

This quarter, extreme heat and wildfires brought physical cl imate risks into sharp focus, coincidentally aligning withboth London Climate Acon Week and the publicaon of London CIV'sTCFD
report. Elsewhere, the 2026 vong season saw shareholders raising human rights and AI-related concerns, as well as challenging banks on a variety of issues. London CIV also supported a
shareholder co-filing at BP , one of the world's largest carbon emiPers, through a shareholder resoluon on fossil fuel financing transparency.
Escala&ng physical risks
Over the past quarter, severe heatwaves, wildfire outbreaks and droughts across Europe, North America and Asia provided a stark reminder that physical climate risks are not just a future concern
but a current economic reality. The UK recorded its highest e ver June temperature of 37.7°C at Strumpshaw Hill, Norfolk, with more than 150 individual weather staons across the cou ntry also
breaking their previous June records.
1 In Europe, sustained heat and drought are driving one of the m ost severe wildfire seasons on record, with an area four mes t he size of Paris burning in
France's Gironde region alone,2 and esmated economic impacts of over €3 billion across Europ e.3 Canada recorded more than 1,700 wildfires and over 166,000 he ctares burned by mid-June 4,
while a heatwave across South Asia pushed temperatures above 46°C in parts of India and Pakistan in April, contribung tomulple deaths and disrupng outdoor work for an esmated 380 million
people.5
London Climate Ac&on Week
In June, London Climate Acon Week took place, convening investors, companies and policymakers to share ideas and collaborate on climate acon. London CIV aPended several events across a
range of topics including invesng for the transion, adaptaon and resilience, and nature-related risks and opportunies. The consensus across the week was that the climate transion is happening,
but more slowly and unevenly than hoped. Capital connues to flow into climate soluons at record levels, parcularly ele ctrificaon and renewables, but policy uncertainty, infras tructure
boPlenecks and cross-sector coordinaon are increasingly significant barriers. Exceeding the Paris Agreement's 1.5°C goal is becoming increasingly unavoidable, with warming of around 1.8-2.4°C
now more likely. One way that investors are responding is thr ough increasing the focus on real-world decarbonisaon thr ough company alignment and engagement, recognising some of the
limitaons of tradional intensity metrics for tracking progress.

London CIV met its target of reducing the Scope 1 and 2 emissions intensity of its Authorised Contractual Scheme (ACS) funds to below 38 tCO₂e/mGBP , represenng a 35% reducon relave
to its 2020 baseline emissions.
London CIV achieved its target of becoming operaonally carbon neutral in 2025, in line with its Climate Acon Plan and net zero ambions, by supporng two high-quality, verified carbon
removal projects that also deliver wider environmental and social benefits.
Further details are available in the full report, which can be found on the London CIV website:h6ps://londonciv.org.uk/climate-change.
Co-Filing a Shareholder Resolu&on at BP
Given BP's standing as one of the world's largest emiPers and its retreat from prior climate commitments, London CIV co-filed a resoluon led by Australian Centre for Corporate Responsibility
(ACCR) at BP’s annual general meeng (AGM) in April 2026, alongside other investors, calling for greater transparency on capital allocaon to new oil and gas projects and exploraon, with a focus
on demonstrang the financial value to shareholders and resilience under low-demand scenarios.
The resoluon received 28.85% shareholder support, the highest ever vote for a management -opposed resoluon at BP . As this exceeds the 20% threshold under the UK Corporate
Governance Code, BP is required to explain what acon it plans to take in response within six months of the vote, with a further update in its next annual report.
Co-filers included NEST , Wales Pension Partnership, Greater Manchester Pension Fund and Merseyside Pension Fund, with support from LGIM and other investors, and backing from proxy
advisory firms including Glass Lewis.
London CIV is connuing to work with ACCR and other co-filers to monitor BP's response following the AGM, alongside engagement with its investment manager .
2026 Vo&ng Season
The 2026 proxy vong season saw a reducon in the number of shareholder proposals 6, partly driven by changes to the US regulatory landscape, including the Securies and Exchange Commission
stepping back from reviewing exclusion requests. This has given companies more scope to leave proposals off the ballot without regulatory sign-off. 7 Other key themes included:
Major banks faced connued shareholder pressure over the soQening of fossil fuel financing policies and transion commitments8.

Human rights proposals remained a key theme, calling for stronger due diligence and independent assessment of corporate human rights pracces, although acvity was lower than in
20259.
AI-related proposals gained tracon, focusing on governance, cybersecurity oversight and the sustainability implicaons of growing datacentre demand10.
London CIV Vo&ng Ac&vi&es
Over the quarter, London CIV voted on 11,932 proposals (99% vong execuon), vong against management proposals on 1,535 occasions and supporng shareholder proposals on 354
occasions. In the first half of 2026, London CIV received LAPFF vong alerts covering 71 resoluons. Of these, 18 related to companies that were not held in any London CIV fund. Of the remaining
53 resoluons on which London CIV voted, 51 votes were cast inline with LAPFF recommendaons, with two instances of divergence:
NVIDIA: LAPFF supported Resoluon 7, which requested addional disclosure of greenhouse gas emissions associated with the use of Nvidia's sold products. London CIV voted against the
resoluon as the company already discloses Scope 3 emission s across mulple categories, has an SBTi-validated target r elang to emissions from the use of sold graphics processing unit
products, and has commiPed to expanding its Scope 3 disclosures. London CIV therefore did not consider the addional disclosure requested by the resoluon necessary at this stage and
will connue to monitor progress.
Toyota: LAPFF recommended vong against Resoluon 1, the re-elecon of Chair Akio Toyoda, cing concerns regarding investor engagement and oversight of responsible mineral sourcing.
London CIV voted in favour of the resoluon, as ongoing engagement through its stewardship provider, EOS at Federated Hermes, indicated that the company is recepve to engagement
and is considering steps to strengthen its responsible mineral sourcing pracces. Given this, London CIV considered connued engagement more appropriate than vong against the Chair
at this stage and will connue to monitor progress.
