University of St Andrews Superannuation and Life Assurance Scheme
The University has recently undertaken a tender process, on behalf of the Trustees of the University of St Andrews Superannuation and Life Assurance Scheme (S&LAS), for the provision of the services provided by Towers Watson as Scheme Administrators, i.e. Pension Fund Actuarial and Investment Advice, and Administrative Services.
After completing the required procurement process, the Trustees have appointed Aon Hewitt as the service provider. Aon HewittÂ’s appointment commenced on Monday 12 September 2011, and we will be working closely with Aon to ensure a smooth transition from Towers Watson.
