Flexibility to pay more There are a number of ways you can provide extra benefits , on top of the benefits you are already looking forward to as a member of the LGPS .
You can improve your retirement benefits by paying :
• Additional Pension Contributions ( APCs ) to buy extra LGPS pension ,
• Additional Voluntary Contributions ( AVCs ) arranged through the LGPS ( in-house AVCs ),
• Free Standing Additional Voluntary Contributions ( FSAVCs ) to a scheme of your choice ,
• Contributions to a stakeholder or personal pension plan .
Your pension fund can give you more information on the first two of these options . Contact details are at the end of this guide . 14 SouthYorkshirePensionsAuthority
