Pension Services

The three pension plans

There are three pension plans at the University of Victoria:

Each plan covers different employee groups. Membership to any of the plans is determined by the terms of the Plan Documents, and enrollment is administered by the Human Resources department. If you need help to determine which of the three plans you belong to, please visit which plan do I belong to? or contact us.

Pension Services administers pension benefits for plan members. This includes:

verifying, recording and maintaining member data and information
calculating and paying pension benefits
producing annual member statements
responding to member requests for information
producing publications and communications for the plans
producing financial statements and annual reports
preparing various reports for pension regulators
ensuring pension plan compliance under applicable legislation

Our office also oversees investments programs. This means:

executing investment policies and mandates
monitoring external investment managers for performance and compliance with policies
working with investment consultants on investment strategy matters.

Finally, our office supports the various boards and committees that govern the three plans. Please visit the individual plans’ Governance pages to find out more about the governance structure and to access various reports and communications from the boards and committees.
