East Riding Pension Fund Annual Report and Accounts 2019/2020forewordThe Fund was created on the reorganisation of local government in 1974 and East Riding of Yorkshire Council became theAdministering Authority on 1 April 1996.At 31 March 2020 the Fund was valued at 4,764.0m, having paid out 192.6m during the year for the benefit of Schememembers. This is a decrease in the Fund value of 293.1m from 31 March 2019, due to a significant capital depreciationacross all major equity markets in the final quarter of the year as the impact of the coronavirus epidemic became apparent.There was a substantial deterioration in investor risk sentiment together with an associated flight to safety. The strongestrelative returns were seen in the Alternatives Sector, in particular Private Equity, along with Corporate Bonds in the FixedIncome Sector. UK Government Bonds, Overseas Bonds and Infrastructure all contributed positive absolute returns despitethe difficult market conditions. In addition, sterling returns from overseas investments received a significant boost dueto the depreciation of the currency following the exit from the European Union and the coronavirus crisis. The Fund alsobenefitted from the strong performance of the internal manager and Border to Coast Pension Partnership (Border toCoast), the funds chosen pooling partner.Throughout 2019/20 the number of employers in the Fund with active members was 317 (31 March 2019: 321). The slightdecrease during the year was due to only counting employers with active members as opposed to the inclusion of thoseemployers with an interest in the Fund also.All employees, other than teachers, of the Administering Authority and the majority of the Scheme Employers are entitledto participate in the Scheme. Employees of Scheme Employers classed as designating bodies, such as town and parishcouncils, and employees of the 57 Admission Bodies may be nominated for membership by their employer. Teachers,police officers and firefighters have separate pension arrangements.Although membership is not compulsory, it is automatic for all employees who have a contract of employment that is forat least 3 months and who are under the age of 75. Employees have freedom of choice to leave the Scheme and makealternative pension arrangements.At 31 March 2020 the total membership records administered by the East Riding Pension Fund was 116,422, an increase of1.3% in the year (2019: 114,882). For active members, each separate employment contract is classed as a record where anindividual has multiple employments, and the number of active member records has decreased by 3.7% to 38,761 (2019:40,234). For pensioner members each pension entitlement is classed as a record where an individual is in receipt of morethan one pension and the number of pensioner member records, including the pensions paid to spouses and dependantsof the former scheme members, has increased by 5.5% to 33,194 (2019: 31,470). All the membership figures are based onthe up to date position recorded on the pension administration system, with all previous years restated on a consistentbasis. The average pension payment is 4,547.70 per annum, equivalent to a weekly payment of 87.22.The Fund generated a return of -4.5% for the year to 31 March 2020 compared to the strategic benchmark return of -7.3%.Over the three years to 31 March 2020 the Fund returned 2.0% per annum, compared to the strategic benchmark returnof 0.7% per annum and the long term investment objective of 6.0% per annum.The Fund continues to be managed in a cost effective manner with total pension administration, investment management,and oversight and governance costs equating to just 0.17% (2019: 0.14%) of funds under management.The key challenges for the Fund in the year ahead is to maintain the strong investment performance in an increasinglyvolatile market environment whilst continuing to manage the transition of assets to Border to Coast. The Fund isparticipating fully in the pooling process and will ensure that there is appropriate governance oversight of the activitiesof our pooling partner.Julian NeilsonHead of FinanceEast Riding of Yorkshire Council28 August 2020foreword3
East Riding Pension Fund Annual Report and Accounts 2019/2020the local government pension schemeLegal FrameworkThe Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) has been in existence since 1922 and has developed into a comprehensivescheme providing pensions for all members and their spouses, civil partners or eligible cohabitating partners and eligible children.The current scheme, LGPS 2014, is a Career Average Revalued Earnings (CARE) scheme. The scheme rules for LGPS 2014 arecontained within the LGPS Regulations 2013 (Statutory Instrument Number 2013 No. 2356) and subsequent amendmentsand the Local Government Pension Scheme (Transitional Provisions, Savings and Amendment) Regulations 2014 (StatutoryInstrument Number 2014 No 525). Amendments to LGPS 2014 are made under the Public Service Pensions Act 2013. Detailsof the main provisions of LGPS 2014 can be found at e Regulations specify the type and amounts of pension and other benefits payable in respect of scheme members who leave,retire or die, and also fix the member contributions rates payable on an ongoing basis. Employees have freedom to opt-out andmake their own pension provision.Employer contribution rates are set by the Fund’s Actuary every three years following the valuation of the Fund, in order tomaintain the solvency of the Fund. Following the 2019 Actuarial Valuation, the Actuary issued the new rates payable by schemeemployers for the period from 1 April 2020 to 31 March 2023.Whilst the Regulations are fixed on a national basis, the LGPS is managed by a designated Administering Authority, andthroughout England and Wales there are 89 such authorities. East Riding of Yorkshire Council is responsible for administering“The East Riding Pension Fund” for the benefit of its own employees and the employees of the scheme employers and admissionbodies. Full details of the employers participating within the Fund are shown on pages 113 to 115. Teachers, Police Officers andFirefighters are excluded from the LGPS, as they are members of separate statutory pension schemes.The Local Government Pension Scheme (Management and Investment of Funds) Regulations 2016 make the provision in relationto the management and investment of pension funds held by administering authorities required to maintain pension funds bythe Local Government Pension Scheme Regulations 2013.HM Revenues and Customs has granted the LGPS ‘exempt approval’ for the purposes of the Income and Corporation Taxes Act1988. Since April 2006, the LGPS has been classified as a registered public service pension scheme under Part 4 of Chapter 2of the Finance Act 2004. It complies with the relevant provisions of the Pension Schemes Act 1993, the Pensions Act 1995, thePensions Act 2004 and meets the Government’s new standards under the automatic enrolment provisions of the Pensions Act2008.The East Riding Pension Fund Local Pension BoardAs required under section 5 of the Public Service Pensions Act 2013 and regulation 106 of the LGPS Regulations 2013(as amended), the East Riding Pension Fund Local Pension Board (ERPFLPB) was established on 25 February 2015 and ismade up of three employer representatives and three member representatives.
