History of the GMPF
Greater Manchester

In 1974 the six Metropolitan Counties were set up and the Greater Manchester County Council came into existence. This then took over and merged The City of Manchester Pension Fund (which by then had changed its name from The Manchester Superannuation Fund), with the Funds of Bolton, Bury, Oldham, Rochdale, Salford, Stockport and Wigan, parts of the Lancashire and Cheshire County Funds and a number of smaller authorities, to form the Greater Manchester County Superannuation Fund.

This was administered by the Greater Manchester Council until 1986, when the Government abolished the Metropolitan County Councils and distributed their functions to the various Metropolitan Boroughs.

The Greater Manchester Fund was administered by the Residuary Body for eighteen months and then passed over to Tameside Metropolitan Borough with effect from 1 October 1987. Shortly afterwards the name was simplified to Greater Manchester Pension Fund. Since then it has continued to develop and grow.
