Pensions - Articles - PPF publish latest PPF7800 figures for August 2025


This update provides the latest estimated funding position, based on adjusting the scheme valuation data supplied to The Pensions Regulator as part of the schemes’ annual scheme returns, on a section 179 (s179) basis, for the defined benefit pension schemes potentially eligible for entry to the Pension Protection Fund (PPF).

 A scheme’s s179 liabilities represent, broadly speaking, the premium that would have to be paid to an insurance company to take on the payment of PPF levels of compensation. This compensation may be lower than full scheme benefits.

 Shalin Bhagwan, PPF Chief Actuary said: “A surge in yields on long-dated gilts, reaching highs not seen since the late 1990s, saw estimated scheme liability values drop by 2.2 per cent. The corresponding drop in the price of gilts was tempered by steady improvements in equity markets, resulting in a 1.9 per cent decrease in estimated scheme asset values. The net impact of which was a slight improvement in the scheme funding ratio, up by 0.4 percentage points to 128.1 per cent.”
