Original consultation

Summary

We are consulting on a proposal to merge 2 local government pension scheme funds - the West Midlands Integrated Transport Authority Pension Fund and West Midlands Pension Fund.

This consultation ran from
9:30am on 23 July 2019 to 11:45pm on 7 September 2019

Consultation description

We are consulting on a proposal to merge the West Midlands Integrated Transport Authority Pension Fund into the West Midlands Pension Fund. The former fund no longer enrols new members and the merger should improve solvency and reduce financial risk. Members’ benefits would be unaffected and we will review the consultation responses before coming to a final decision.
