Launched in 2002, the fund invests in prime leisure schemes in the UK. The fund aims to outperform the MSCI All Leisure Index.

Leisure activities are no longer the reserve of special occasions. Post-COVID, we see consumers favouring a return to experiences over material goods.
Andrew Ferguson, Senior Fund Manager

Sustainability

The Leisure Fund Limited Partnership is committed to environmental improvement. As a result, we have developed an environmental management system (EMS) to help control environmental risks and reduce our environmental impact. We track a number of ESG factors including utility usage and work with occupiers to deliver improved social impact measures. We take our EMS seriously and to help drive progress we invite external auditors to evaluate our work.
