Pension Fund Risk Register

1 story · discussed at 4 council meetings · 1 council

Tower Hamlets councils are regularly reviewing the pension fund risk register, considering LGPS reforms.

The Tower Hamlets Pensions Committee and Pension Board both reviewed or discussed the pension fund risk register in July 2026. This document identifies, assesses, and prioritises potential risks to the pension fund, outlining mitigation strategies.

These ongoing reviews follow significant shifts driven by Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) pooling reforms and new governance regulations, which took effect from April 1, 2026. The Pension Board discussed the implications of these changes in March 2026.

A report to the Pension Board in March 2026 noted that the Scheme Advisory Board acknowledged the policy clarity of the reforms but cautioned that the implementation timetable poses a material delivery risk.
