Was Moving Your Pension From The Universities Superannuation Scheme A Mistake?
We’ll have a specialist call you back for a no obligation chat about your financial claim
Up until about 1992, many university lecturers, academics and other members of staff were offered membership of the Universities Superannuation Scheme – a valuable retirement fund system that promises a lot.
Although the scheme has now been replaced for new members of staff, older staff or people who have left and deferred their benefits are part of the UK’s second largest private pension scheme, with a massive £50 billion under management!
Members are set to enjoy:
- The security of a regular income for the rest of their lives in retirement
- Ability to take tax-free cash upon retirement
- A single payment equivalent to 3x their annual salary to their family should they die before retiring
- Tax relief on contributions
In an age of financial insecurity, pensions like the Universities Superannuation scheme represent security, so why do some people move away?

Why Do People Move Away From The Universities Superannuation Scheme?
Situations where it is suitable to transfer a pension like this are rare, and it is usually upto an authorised and qualified financial adviser to assess every situation on a case-by-case basis to see if it would be the right thing to recommend.
Yet every year, tens of thousands of people receive advice to move away from pensions like the Universities Superannuation Scheme, or other valuable pensions because of negligent financial advice.
Advisers can earn thousands in fees and commission if they advise somebody to transfer, and in some cases this has been shown to cloud an adviser’s judgement, leading people to unsuitable transfers that could lose them thousands in the long run.
Transferring away usually exposes the pension to much more risk, and it is not unheard of for people to lose their entire pension by transferring.
