Why Join GMPF?

[New content]

GMPF offers a secure, inflation-linked pension with strong employer contributions and built-in protection—providing certainty and long-term stability that many other schemes cannot. 

  • Defined Benefit, Not Defined Contribution

    Your pension is based on your salary & length of membership, not stock market fluctuations. 

  • Guaranteed, Inflation-Linked Income

    Your pension is designed to keep pace with the cost of living, even after retirement. 

  • Backed by a Public Sector Framework

    As part of LGPS, It offers long-term stability, governance oversight, and accountability. 

  • Built-in Protection Benefits

    You and your family are protected throughout your career, not just at retirement. 

  • Strong Employer Contributions

    You receive substantial pension value beyond what you personally contribute.

  • Flexible Options at Retirement

    You can tailor how and when you take your benefits.
