Important information on pension scams

There has been an increase in scams over recent months where people under the age of 55, the earliest age at which you are normally able to draw any pension benefits are being approached by companies who claim that they can help them to release money from their pension scheme. Please see the pension scams section for further information.

Our team administers in house pension schemes for University Assistant Staff and for non-academic staff at selected Cambridge Colleges. We also oversee the University's participation in the Universities Superannuation Scheme, the National Health Service Pension Scheme and the Federated Superannuation System for Universities.

We manage the University's hardship loan scheme for students (Loan Fund I).

Our advisers offer information to employees relating to the BUPA group scheme, which currently offers a 56% discount on standard contribution rates to University staff.
