Your Local Government Pension Scheme benefits are not affected by stock market volatility

The Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) is a defined benefit scheme which means the benefits payable from it are calculated using a formula. This means they are not affected by things such as stock market movements, a spell of bad investment returns, recessions, etc.

Your benefits will be unaffected by the current financial turmoil. Please be assured that your benefits are 100% safe and are not impacted by what is happening currently.

Do you know where all your pension savings are?

You may well have more than one pension from your working life!

There are billions of pounds out there in lost pension money… could some of that be yours, and go towards your pension pot? Visit gov.uk/find-pension-contact-details to get started.
