The letter described the LGPS Central Limited transition plan as detailed, comprehensive, and aligned with the overarching ambition of the Fit for the Future consultation on the LGPS. Ministers also praised the deepening collaboration with Partner Funds and welcomed our strong focus on local investment and openness to welcoming new Partner Funds. We will continue to work closely with our Partner Funds to deliver on this ambition. We thank them for their collaborative approach and commitment to securing the best possible outcomes for the future of the LGPS Central Pool and its members.
