The Government Actuary’s Department (GAD) has delivered an early Christmas present in the form of its eventual Section 13 report: this relates to Local Government Pension Scheme fund valuations in England & Wales as at 31 March 2019. Read our 60 Second Summary to help you quickly locate:

• The publicly identified metrics where you sit relative to your peers.
• How this may affect the 2022 actuarial valuation.

In summary, we agree with the principles of this Section 13 analysis, however, there are some “devil in the detail” elements where we continue to engage with GAD.
