LGPS employers are increasingly looking for more options within their Fund, to manage their risks and control their costs. Funds can use employer investment strategies as another tool to strike a balance between contribution stability and balance sheet movements.
LGPS employers have tailored funding plans, set to achieve employers’ funding objectives.

Long-term investment returns are crucial to keep employer contributions affordable.
