About the Fund
The Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) is a statutory public service pension scheme in England and Wales. Leicestershire County Council is the Administering Authority for the LGPS within Leicestershire and Rutland (the Fund).
As the Administering Authority, Leicestershire County Council has a statutory obligation to administer the Fund for all eligible employees of all local authorities within the geographic boundaries of Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland and also the employees of certain other scheduled and admitted bodies such as Loughborough and De Montfort University.
The Fund does not cover teachers, lecturers, police or fire-fighters as they have their own schemes.
