The report of the Director, West Yorkshire Pension Fund (WYPF),
(Document “J”) advised Members that the next triennial Actuarial valuation of the Fund was due at 31 March 2019 and that it would determine employer contribution rates from April 2020 onwards.
It was explained that an initial meeting with the Actuary would be arranged in autumn 2018 when issues relating to the valuation and investment markets would be explored in some depth.
A Member referred to the current difficult market conditions and his belief that, in such a market, it would not be prudent to consider any reduction in contributions until the fund was 140% funded. It was confirmed, in response, that discussions were held with the finance directors of all five local authorities and the fire service and in those discussions the message was communicated that although the fund was in surplus there was no intention to reduce contributions.
Resolved –
That the report be noted.
ACTION: Director, West Yorkshire Pension Fund
