LGPS funds have concluded their consultations on the Funding Strategy Statements (FSSs) as part of the 2025 valuation. The FSS is the primary means by which a fund communicates funding strategy to employers, explaining how employer contribution rates have been determined for the period from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2029.

Our 60-second summary reflects on how funds and employers approached the 2025 FSS consultations, what worked well and where there's still scope to improve.

  • A step-change in the quality of consultation and engagement.
