News & information

  • USS publishes latest financial reports

    Universities Superannuation Scheme has published its annual Report and Accounts, covering the financial year in which it celebrated its 50th anniversary, together with its latest Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures report.

  • Climate change – a significant financial risk

    Climate change is a significant financial risk – one that’s increasingly reshaping the way we look at our investments and their long-term returns. As we publish our latest TCFD report, I talk to the progress we’re making towards our ambition for our investments to be net zero by 2050, if not before. I also talk to our enhanced climate scenario analysis which uses our updated climate scenarios to strengthen our assessment of transition risks and we’ve incorporated physical risks in our scenario analysis for the first time.

  • Conditional Indexation: interim report

    UCEA and UCU have been exploring Conditional Indexation benefit design options. The first of two planned reports provides an interim update on progress and highlights areas for further exploration.
