We’d like to reassure members that their pension benefits are guaranteed and are not affected by volatility in the financial markets. As a defined benefit scheme, the amount of pension you receive is not based on the performance of the stock market or share prices.
The Environment Agency Pension Fund is a long-term investor and short-term changes do not affect our investment approach. We remain well funded and resilient. We’ll continue to monitor the movements in the market closely.
We’ll be discussing this, and other topics relating to How the EAPF Invests at our member webinar on 2 November.
Book your ticket to hear more about this on our How EAPF invests webinar.
If you have an AVC, you can read more about these on our 'I want to pay in more' page.
