Universities Superannuation Scheme Limited – the trustee of the UK’s largest private pension scheme by way of assets – confirms the appointment of Ellen Kelleher as a new trustee director and the retirement of Rene Poisson from the USS Board.
Everyone at USS is motivated by a clear duty to keep members’ valuable pensions funded, so that members – and employers – can save for the future with confidence. We understand the concerns of USS members, faced with proposals connected with the 2020 actuarial valuation for higher contributions or benefits that will build up more slowly in the future.
Pluto Finance, a leading specialist property lender providing finance to small and medium-sized housebuilders, is pleased to announce a substantial strategic investment by the Universities Superannuation Scheme (“USS”), the UK’s largest private pension scheme with over £80bn assets under management.
The contributions members and employers pay into USS, and the way future retirement benefits are built up, are both set to change.
After six months of extended negotiations, USS’s Joint Negotiating Committee (JNC) has now determined how the funding challenges facing the scheme should be addressed. This comes almost two years after we first committed to holding a 2020 valuation.
