Administering authorities of the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) are required to prepare and publish a Funding Strategy Statement (FSS). The statement sets out how the Fund plans to meet its long-term liabilities, manage funding risks and maintain an appropriate level of employer contributions.

As LGPS benefits are guaranteed by statute, the FSS provides a framework for long-term financial planning and helps ensure transparency and accountability in the management of the Fund.
