Graham Brown, Pensions Manager Barnardo’s; Jonathan Bull Executive Director, Alastair Ross Goobey has become the Trust’s President and he will be giving The Ross Goobey Lecture on Thursday 27 October which is being organised by the Trust in conjunction with The Pensions Institute at the Cass Business School. The theme of the lecture will be that the debate about pension fund investment has come full circle to where it was when his father, the late George Ross Goobey struck out for equities in the early 1950s. George Ross Goobey’s widow has recently donated a collection of her late husband’s papers, covering this period, to the Pensions Archive and they are currently being analysed prior to a series of articles being published by the Trust. There are a number of lessons which can be learned from the past and the making available of the previously unpublished Ross Goobey papers provide an understanding of how the investment strategy of the Imperial Tobacco Pension Fund evolved through Ross Goobey’s intervention fifty years ago. It also highlights the importance of preserving key pension policy documents and the part which the Pensions Archive can play in achieving this. The Trust will be launching an appeal for funds to construct the Archive in part of Further information on the Pensions Archive can be obtained from: Alan Herbert alanherbert@highburyhouse.fsnet.co.uk direct line: 01438 869198
