Abstract: Abstract In 2003, the Universities Superannuation Scheme and Hewitt Bacon & Woodrow ran a global competition for innovation in pension fund investment. The aim was to encourage the development of investment approaches which combined the two aims of being genuinely long term and genuinely responsible. This paper reviews the changing demands of investors which motivated the competition and presents some of the ideas included in the 88 entries to the competition for the critical review of asset management professionals keen to meet those demands.
