LGPS Current Issues
Introduction
Welcome to the latest edition of our Current Issues digital newsletter.
The changes that were on the horizon for Funds/pools/advisors are now one step closer following publication of the Government’s response to the “Fit for the Future” consultation in May 2025 and the Pensions Bill starting its journey through the House of Commons this month. On top of this, a consultation on “Fairness and Access” was published and work linked to the 2025 actuarial valuations in England and Wales continues at pace.
In this edition of Current Issues, we provide updates on some of the above and highlight ways we can provide further support to help meet the challenges that lie ahead.
With the Wimbledon tennis tournament starting later this month, we also share some facts and figures linked to this beloved British institution.
If you would like to explore further how we can support you with any of the current issues referenced in this edition, then please contact Jonathan or Meg, or your usual Mercer consultant.
