Key themes will include managing surpluses responsibly, balancing prudence with employer pressures for contribution rate reductions during economic hardship, and ensuring inter-generational fairness as highlighted in the GAD report. The conversation will also address the importance of aligning local investment, growth strategies, and pooling reforms with the long-term sustainability and mission of the LGPS.
