Pension fund

The Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) is a national scheme for local government employees.

The website gives details on the main features of the current pension scheme and shows you how important it is, not just at retirement, but throughout your working life. It will also keep you informed of the latest changes and how they affect you.

We administer the LGPS within Scottish Borders on behalf of the Council and a number of other participating employers.

The Pensions Team is responsible for collecting scheme contributions, calculating and paying scheme benefits.

The Fund's investments are looked after by external investment managers. The performance of the Fund is monitored internally by the Treasury Management Section.
