Aviva Investors is preparing to extend its Long-Term Asset Fund (LTAF) offering to wealth and retail clients, signalling broader confidence in the structure’s scalability beyond corporate DC schemes. CEO Mark Versey emphasised the potential for LTAFs to deliver equity-like returns with lower volatility, as investor demand for accessible private market strategies continues to grow. The move follows recent UK regulatory changes that will allow LTAFs to be held in ISAs from 2026.
For institutional investors, Aviva’s expansion underscores the momentum behind LTAFs as a credible long-term vehicle—and highlights the rising expectations around liquidity structuring, governance, and stewardship integration in private market access strategies.
