There are different types of pension plans. The Money Purchase Pension Plan is a defined contribution plan, which means that contributions accumulate in a member's account and can be used to purchase a pension at retirement.

During your employment at UVic, you and the University will both contribute to the plan’s funds through contributions. At retirement, you will have a range of options designed to allow tailoring of retirement income to suit your situation, preferences, and financial plan.
