Valuations to determine scheme underfunding
This section has no associated Explanatory Memorandum
162.—(1) For the purposes of enabling risk-based pension protection levies (within the meaning of Article 158) to be calculated in respect of eligible schemes, regulations may make provision requiring the trustees or managers of each such scheme to provide the Board or the Regulator on the Board’s behalf—
(a)with an actuarial valuation of the scheme at such intervals as may be prescribed, and
(b)with such other information as the Board may require in respect of the assets and protected liabilities of the scheme at such times as may be prescribed.
(2) For the purposes of this Article, in relation to a scheme—
“an actuarial valuation” means a written valuation of the scheme’s assets and protected liabilities prepared and signed by the actuary;
“the actuary” means—
(a)
the actuary appointed under Article 47(1)(b) of the 1995 Order (professional advisers) in relation to the scheme, or
(b)
if no such actuary has been appointed—
(i)
a person with prescribed qualifications or experience, or
(ii)
a person approved by the Department.
(3) Regulations under this Article may prescribe how—
(a)the assets and the protected liabilities of schemes, and
(b)their amount or value,
are to be determined, calculated and verified.
(4) Subject to any provision made under paragraph (3), those matters are to be determined, calculated and verified in accordance with guidance issued by the Board.
(5) In calculating the amount of any liabilities for the purposes of a valuation required by virtue of this Article, a provision of the scheme rules which limits the amount of the scheme’s liabilities by reference to the value of its assets is to be disregarded.
(6) In this Article references to “assets” do not include assets representing the value of any rights in respect of money purchase benefits under the scheme rules.
