University of Cape Town Retirement Fund
In addition to providing retirement benefits, the UCTRF also provides resignation, retrenchment, death and disability benefits. The UCTRF is registered as a Provident Fund. This gives you flexibility because you can decide how much of your benefit you want as a lump sum and/or pension.
If you are a permanent employee of the University of Cape Town, the Cape Higher Education Consortium or the Tertiary Education And Research Network Of South Africa or an employee with a fixed-term contract of longer than 2 years, you will automatically become a member of the UCTRF on appointment. Membership of the UCTRF is obligatory and a condition of employment.
The UCTRF is a separate legal entity. This means that it does not belong to the employer or the administrator. It is registered with the Financial Services Board (FSB). The FSB ensures that the UCTRF is well managed in accordance with the Pension Funds Act and the related legislation. The UCTRF is also approved by SARS (South African Revenue Services), which means that there are certain tax concessions when benefits are paid.
FSB Registration Number
The UCTRF’s FSB registration number is 12/8/31582

| Complaints
If you have a complaint relating to the management of the UCTRF, its administration, member communication, benefit payments, or any other matter, please write to the Principal Officer of the UCTRF. The UCTRF has 30 days in which to respond. If you do not receive a response, or the response is not satisfactory, you will be able to lodge your complaint with the Pension Funds Adjudicator. Please note that this does not apply to complaints regarding the separate death and disability cover or the income continuation cover, which must be lodged with the Ombudsman for Long-term Insurance. The insurer should be given the opportunity to resolve the problem or complaint before it is referred to the Ombudsman. You can complain to Pension Funds Adjudicator and to the Ombudsman for Long-term Insurance directly (you do not need to hire a lawyer) and for free. Should the Pension Funds Adjudicator’s ruling not be to your satisfaction, you may apply to the division of the High Court within six weeks. |
