Award for Essex pensions team

摘要

The accountable officer for the Essex Pension Fund has expressed her pride after her team won a prestigious award. Essex beat eight other schemes, including the largest local government fund in the UK, Greater Manchester, to win the prize at the Pension Age Awards 2015 in London. The fund was named defined benefit pension scheme of the year after demonstrating excellence in service provision, commitment to scheme members, innovation and an understanding of the changing needs of the UK market. Essex's investment performance was 9.2% for the year to the end of March 2014 against a local authority average of 6.4%.
