As at 31 March 2016 we had 278,951 members and 404 employers across the UK. Our largest employers are the five West Yorkshire Councils - Bradford, Calderdale, Kirklees, Leeds and Wakefield. Although the value of the Fund fell from £11.32 billion to £11.21 billion over the year, a decrease of £0.11 billion, the Fund remains one of the best funded within the local government pension scheme. Most of this decrease was a result of weak public equity markets, mitigated by good performance from alternative investments, particularly private equity. The Investment Advisory Panel reviews the asset allocation quarterly, and makes adjustments against the benchmark based on future expected returns. With effect from 1 April 2015 WYPF began administering the Lincolnshire Pension Fund (LPF) under a joint service agreement. After some early issues with the quality of data transferred from the private sector contractor, the project went well, and the cost savings for both WYPF and LPF are being delivered to plan. We have continued to develop our systems, train staff, both in Bradford and Lincoln, and improve the support and service to employers. The monthly web-based return for employers has been successfully extended to include all the LPF employers. This will improve the quality of data required for the actuarial valuation at 31 March 2016, and enable us to deliver the data to the actuary earlier than has been possible previously. In addition, we began delivering services to Berkshire and Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Authorities from 1 April 2016. In the July Budget 2015, the Chancellor announced the Government’s intention to work with the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) administering authorities to ensure that they pool investments to significantly reduce costs while maintaining overall investment performance. On 25 November the Investment Reform Criteria and Guidance was issued, which sets out the criteria to be applied to the pooling of LGPS assets. Authorities were invited to submit their initial proposals for pooling by 19 February 2016. WYPF, having agreed to pool with Greater Manchester and Merseyside, duly submitted its proposals by the deadline. The submission and the Minister’s response are on the WYPF website. This is going to make a considerable difference to the way investments are managed in the future. On behalf of the Joint Advisory Group and the Investment Advisory Panel I would like to thank all the staff who continue to ensure WYPF is at the forefront of changes and developments, and ensure it continues to be very well run. I hope you enjoy reading the Annual Report and Accounts, and find them useful and informative.
