Before transferAfter transfer

10. 10 http://www.dundee.ac.uk/finance/mainfunctions/pensions.htm your pension benefits UODSS & ■ Recent changes - March 2014 Budget announcements □ How do the announcements affect me? - More flexibility to exchange small pensions for a one-off lump sum - Increase in Minimum Pension Age from 55 to 57 – from April 2028 - State Second Pension (S2P) – ability to top up S2P before ‘Single Tier’ State Pension applies - Possibility that restrictions will apply to transfers from Defined Benefit (such as UODSS) to Defined Contribution schemes - For more information, please refer to the Trustees’ ‘Response to the Budget Announcements’ Factsheet available from the Pensions Area of the University website

11. 11 http://www.dundee.ac.uk/finance/mainfunctions/pensions.htm your pension benefits UODSS & ■ Possible changes in the future □ From April 2016, the Single Tier State Pension will combine the Basic State Pension (BSP) with the State Second Pension (S2P) □ At present... - UODSS members (like members of most Defined Benefit schemes) are currently guaranteed a level of benefits well above the S2P pension and do not earn an S2P benefit while contributing to the Scheme. - In return members (and the University) pay lower NI contributions to the Government □ From April 2016... - Everyone will start to build up the new ‘Single State Pension’ in addition to any other pension benefits they earn - UODSS members (and the University) will have to pay higher NI contributions - It is likely that Defined Benefit schemes (such as UODSS) will be able to amend their rules to allow for the change □ It is likely that the University will consider this issue carefully and members will be informed if any changes to the Rules are planned

12. 12 http://www.dundee.ac.uk/finance/mainfunctions/pensions.htm your pension benefits UODSS & ■ Scheme Funding □ What has happened since the last valuation? □ How does this compare with other schemes?

13. 13 http://www.dundee.ac.uk/finance/mainfunctions/pensions.htm your pension benefits UODSS & ■ Views on Scheme Funding □ The period since the previous valuation was very challenging due to the recession and Eurozone crisis and the impact on liability values □ The issues faced by UODSS are the same as those faced by a large number of schemes across the UK □ The vast majority of other defined benefit schemes are in a similar position □ The Trustees will continue to take a long term view on investment and funding □ They will also continue to gain reassurances from the University for its ongoing support for UODSS

14. 14 http://www.dundee.ac.uk/finance/mainfunctions/pensions.htm your pension benefits UODSS & ■ Long term strategy □ The University has re-affirmed its commitment to the Scheme □ UODSS is a very long term savings vehicle and the Trustees take a long term view when setting the funding and investment strategy □ Short term fluctuations in the funding position are expected. The Trustees monitor the funding position closely to avoid any surprises and take action if required ■ Detailed health-check □ A full valuation of UODSS will be carried out at 31 July 2014 □ The Trustees will also review the Scheme’s investments □ The Trustees will update members on the outcome of the 2014 valuation after completion – expected by Q2 2015
