With responses to the ‘fit for the future’ consultation out of the way, funds have been turning their attention to other matters. Our webinar about the English devolution programme is worth a listen. And our investment team has pulled together its outlook for 2025, highlighting the key themes facing the LGPS. Other topics include a new regime for exit credits in Scotland and fresh longevity projections (for the actuary in all of us..!).
This year’s outlook explores key investment topics as we move into the 2025 England & Wales actuarial valuation year. Elsewhere, political interest in the LGPS remains strong, with continued pressure to invest in UK growth, despite shifts in terminology. Other important areas of focus include defining ‘local’ investment, implementing Mansion House reforms, and advancing net-zero commitments within the LGPS.
Interest continues to grow around Local Government devolution and reorganisation in England. Regular pieces are appearing in the press, with the first Authorities to go through the re-organisation process being announced. On 28 February, we hosted a webinar, with input from Jeremy Hughes (LGA), to discuss what this means for LGPS funds.
Our one-day conference is designed exclusively for LGPS officers, exploring the issues that matter to you and your stakeholders. While the Government focuses on the where and how of LGPS investments, we will shift the emphasis back to what truly matters for the LGPS - delivering positive outcomes. The event will centre around the needs of LGPS stakeholders (including officers, employers, pension committees and members) by building on the factors that make the scheme so successful. Spaces are limited. Register here to secure your place.
