The information below most contains the most recent ‘Annual Actuarial Data’ returns submitted to the Pensions Authority by funded Defined Benefit schemes:
| - | Including schemes in wind-up | Excluding schemes in wind-up |
|---|---|---|
| Number of defined benefit schemes subject to the funding standard | 685 | 653 |
| Number of active members in the defined benefit schemes; | 135,571 | 133,565 |
| Number of deferred members of defined benefit schemes; | 426,499 | 413,677 |
| Number of pensioners in defined benefit schemes; | 102,105 | 100,607 |
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
