As a member of the Investment Builder, you can choose how your pension contributions are invested. It’s an important choice – one of the key ways to enhance your pension savings between now and your retirement is the return on your investments.

As an employer, you are responsible for your financial commitment to the Scheme, and in particular how and when a specific payment - called “employer debt” - may be triggered. These are also sometimes called ‘section 75 debts’ or ‘buy-out debts’.

USS is a unique organisation due to the role it plays in the Higher Education (HE) sector, the relationship it has with its members and beneficiaries and the internal structure which is split between membership-focus and investment (USS & USSIM).

We’re funded by contributions from our members and employers. We then invest these contributions so we can pay future benefits that have been promised to our members.

The Statement of Funding Principles (SFP) sets out our policies on how we fund the scheme so that we can pay all the benefits that have been promised to our members.
