Following the April pooling milestones, our CEO Richard Law-Deeks recently joined BlackRock’s Rewiring Retirement podcast to discuss the next chapter for the Local Government Pensions Scheme (LGPS).
While 1 April marked a significant milestone in the LGPS journey, it was not the finish line. The conversation explores priorities for the LGPS as it moves into its next phase, including:
- Delivering successful implementation and long-term value
- Strengthening governance
- Maximising opportunities for local investment
- Ensuring the scheme continues to deliver strong outcomes for its members
The episode also looks at the importance of achieving scale effectively and the role collaboration will play in shaping the future of the LGPS.
