Peninsula Pensions is a shared service run by Devon County Council on behalf of the Devon and Somerset Pension Funds. It is responsible for administering the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS ) on behalf of Devon and Somerset County Councils and over 250 other employers throughout the counties; for example, District Councils, Colleges, Housing Associations, and so on.
Peninsula Pensions also administers the Police Pension Schemes on behalf of Avon and Somerset Constabulary and the Fire Pension Schemes on behalf of Devon & Somerset Fire & Rescue Service. Co-ordination of Pension Fund investments is managed by our Investment Section.

All queries relating to State Retirement Pensions should be referred to Department for Work and Pensions (DWP).

Pension Fund Accounts
Each year we are required to produce an Annual Report and Statement of Accounts for the Pension Fund. This document sets out a summary of the scheme, principles and policies adopted, investment performance and financial statements.
A copy of the Pension Fund Annual Report and annual Statement of Accounts is in information and resources.
For more information about the pension fund investments or accounts please contact ASweet@somerset.gov.uk
Private equity holdings
The Somerset County Council Pension Fund is committed to the highest levels of transparency and meeting our obligations under Freedom of Information.
Over a number of years we have consistently received requests for information specifically relating to the Fund’s private equity holdings, we are now committed to publishing this information here proactively every six months rather than responding to FOI requests.
