Local Pension Board

The management of the Fund is the responsibility of West Northamptonshire Council (WNC). WNC is the appropriate administering authority for LGPS members in Northamptonshire under the LGPS regulations. The role of the Local Pension Board is to assist WNC in its role as scheme manager. This covers all aspects of governance and administration of the LGPS. It includes funding and investments.

The Local Pension Board’s responsibilities are to:

• assist the administering authority in securing compliance with:
  • the Local Government Pension Regulations 2013
  • other legislation relating to the governance and administration of the LGPS
  • the requirements set by the Pensions Regulator in relation to the LGPS
• ensure the effective and efficient governance and administration of the LGPS.

The role of the Board is to review and check the policies adopted by the administering authority against the applicable regulations. The Board must compare them to examples of best practice elsewhere.

The operation of the Local Pension Board is outlined in the Fund’s Governance Policy and Compliance Statement.
