Further actuarial valuation of segregated parts

43.  Part 2 of the Act shall be modified in its application to a segregated part to which regulation 28 applies so that it shall be read as if, after section 160 (transfer notice), there were inserted the following section—

“Further actuarial valuations of segregated parts

160A.— (1) This section applies in any case where the Board is required to obtain a further actuarial valuation under section 160(4B).

(2) The Board must obtain a further actuarial valuation of the assets and protected liabilities of the section as a whole and of the segregated part as at the date on which the Board is required to assume responsibility for the segregated part.

(3) A valuation obtained by the Board under this section shall have effect as if it were a valuation obtained by the Board under section 143 of the Act (Board’s obligation to obtain valuation of assets and protected liabilities).

(4) For the purposes of this section, subsections (3), (4), (6) to (8) and (11)(a) of section 143 shall apply in relation to a valuation obtained under this section as they apply in relation to a valuation of the section as a whole and of the segregated part obtained under section 143.

(5) In the application of section 143 by virtue of this section—

(a) subsections (5) and (11)(b) of that section shall apply as if the references to “the relevant time” were to the date on which the Board is required to assume responsibility for the segregated part; and

(b) references to “assets” do not include assets representing the value of any rights in respect of money purchase benefits under the scheme rules which apply to the segregated part.”.
