​Request

With regards to the States of Jersey pension fund can you advise in which companies the employees contributions are invested in order to provide a financial return.

Response

Pension contributions are deducted from States of Jersey monthly salaries and, on the last working day of the month, those contributions are paid to the Public Employees Pension Fund (PEPF) (formerly known as the Public Employees Contributory Retirement Scheme).

The PEPF is not subject to the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011. However, information on the Fund is available in the PEPF Annual Reports which are available at:
