Pension schemes invested more in equities by cutting back on other investment classes in the third quarter as the stock markets rallied despite political intrigues.

A survey of 372 schemes by consulting firm Zamara Group (formerly Alexander Forbes Financial Services EA) shows pension providers raised equity allocations to 23.9 per cent in the three months to September, up from 21.5 per cent in the previous quarter.
