About this episode
The episode discusses the understanding of the LGPS scheme, professional trustee appointments, and the Pension Schemes Bill, along with a humorous take from a trainee guide dog.
Reform UK's sovereign wealth fund ambitions for the LGPS prompt a bigger question - does the outside world really understand what the scheme is and what it already does? That gets a proper airing, alongside some thorny questions about professional trustee appointments and a DWP consultation on governance. The Pension Schemes Bill is back too, naturally. Oh, and a trainee guide dog has thoughts on the mandation clause. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
