Cardiff University Pension
The Cardiff University Pension Scheme is available to all staff from grades 1-4.
You will automatically become a member when you start your employment at the university. The Cardiff University Pension Scheme is administered by Legal and General.
The Cardiff University Pension Fund (CUPF) has been closed to new members as of 1 March 2022.
How does the market turmoil affect my CUPF pension?
I am sure you have noticed the significant market turmoil following the UK Government’s ‘mini budget’ and have read in the press about the impact on pension funds.
You may be aware that the Bank of England has intervened, and that the Government has made reversals to the proposed policy changes outlined in the mini budget. This has calmed the markets. Events are still fast moving but please be reassured that our Trustees, supported by our advisors, are monitoring the situation daily, and taking appropriate action, as necessary.
The funding position of our pension scheme is strong, and the ability to pay pensions benefits remains secure. Cardiff University as sponsor continues to stand behind the scheme and has the financial strength to support the scheme in the long run.
There is therefore no reason for members to be concerned – we will make sure that we continue to keep you updated on any notable changes.
