Outside body

Greater Manchester Pension Fund (GMPF) is one of 89 funds that make up the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) in England and Wales. These funds are run by administering authorities, which are councils that have been given responsibility for running the LGPS locally. Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council is the administering authority for GMPF.

Tameside Council delegates the day to day running of GMPF to a committee called the Pension Fund Management Panel (referred to as the GMPF Management Panel). Members of this panel are not trustees as such, but they carry out a similar role, and so we often refer to them as trustees.

The Advisory Panel and the Director of Pensions support the panel. The Management Panel and Advisory Panel meet in tandem four times a year.
