The LGPS enters the 2025 valuations in a position of funding strength.
However, uncertainty in the economic, demographic and political environment means it's been difficult to draw conclusions about what may happen to contribution rates at the 2025 valuation. To help complete the picture, we now have the provisional employer contribution rates for local authorities from a number of LGPS funds we advise.
In this publication, we cover decision making in three key areas:
Investment strategy: increase, decrease or keep investment risk the same?
Prudence levels: change levels to reflect the current uncertainty in the wider environment?
Contribution rates: how do you balance employer affordability, longer-term stability, solvency, intergenerational fairness, financial market uncertainty and potential local government reorganisations.
If you have any questions, or would like to discuss anything further, please get in touch.
