Impact on Merton Pension Fund • We can do the calculations • 1-2% of payroll • The benefits cost roughly the same • The link to SPA reduces the over all cost • Depends on membership profile and funding assumptions • Above excludes any benefit of “50/50” lite option • Employer cost roughly halves for those who opt for 50/50 • If 10% of payroll opt for “50/50” • Further saving of c. 0.5% for the Fund • Variation between employers within Funds
Summary • The 2013 valuation is just around the corner • Benefits built up to date are the same • New contribution rates may reduce slightly • For future benefits • For employers • Not employees • Still a deficit to fund • Still some decisions to be agreed for 2014 scheme
