Spotlight: Cartwright - The First UK Pension Fund To Invest in Bitcoin
Bitcoin Policy UK is proud to highlight one of our long-standing strategic partners, Cartwright, a pioneering British pension specialist delivering bespoke financial services since 1986.
In a landmark move for the UK pensions sector, Cartwright advised the nation’s first pension fund to allocate 3% of its £50 million portfolio directly into Bitcoin, not through spot ETFs, but via direct ownership.
This groundbreaking allocation followed a rigorous due diligence process, including extensive reviews of ESG considerations, the investment case, and security and custody standards.
Cartwright’s forward-thinking approach demonstrates how traditional financial institutions can apply robust governance, research-led analysis, and risk management to embrace innovative asset classes. Their work sets an important precedent for how UK pension schemes can consider Bitcoin in a responsible and strategic way.
We are proud to work alongside organisations like Cartwright who are shaping the future of pensions and helping position the UK as a global leader in responsible Bitcoin adoption.
