    Just out of interest what was the conversion rate.  I noticed the rate for converting investment builder to annual pension was close to 40 the last time I checked.
    RIB > Pension 50.17
    IB > 46.72

    no great :neutral:


    PJM-62 thanks for sharing - I received
    a retirement quote from USS a few months ago and discussed it with my Uni pensions department.   The IB commutation factor I was given was IB - Pension - 38.1413.  So is this now changing monthly? 

    i think anyone nearing retirement with USS at present needs to be very vigilant.  As a previous poster said these changes are not advertised - and the trustees can make these changes without any consultation.

    Actually I was wrong here - the commutation was from RIB cash to pension - not IB.
