Managing your LGPS pension - helping you put LGPS members first

A well-run Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) Fund needs you to manage a large and diverse group of members as well as stakeholder interests. You’ll also be managing your LGPS Fund while setting and controlling its funding, investment, and risk strategies. All of which are governed by legal duty.

Mercer’s Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) advisory service

Managing LGPS benefits means dealing with a large and diverse group of employers and engaging with all your other stakeholders. This includes:

  • Local Pension Boards; 
  • the National Scheme Advisory Board; 
  • Asset Pools; 
  • and the Government. 

You’ll need to do all this while setting and controlling your Fund’s investment and risk strategies.

Mercer’s dedicated LGPS team provides clients with clear, outcomes-driven advice and services. We have a team of more than 80 experienced consultants, analysts and representatives. Together they provide LGPS funds and government pension funds with dynamic solutions. We also provide advisory services directly to employers that participate within the LGPS through our separate employer advisory teams. This includes support for employers in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
