This website is designed to give you information to help you understand:

- the options you have for retiring, so you can plan and make better decisions for you.

Transferring DC members to the Fidelity Master Trust
We want to ensure our DC members are experiencing excellent value and increased flexibility when it comes to retirement options.
With this in mind, we’ve already moved a number of DC members, who we identified would benefit from this change, to the Fidelity Master Trust.
Please note, some DC members will remain in the Plan for the time being, as they have specific benefits within the Credit Suisse Section which require more detailed planning.
We've completed a buy-in with Legal & General – what does this mean for you?
During 2024 we completed a buy-in for the Credit Suisse Section with Legal & General. A buy-in is the purchase of a bulk annuity insurance policy for the defined benefits (DB) in the Credit Suisse Section.
This is a positive step for the Credit Suisse Section, increasing the security for DB members’ benefits.
There’s nothing you need to do and you won’t see any changes to the way we look after your benefits in the Credit Suisse Section.
To find out more, including how your data is shared with Legal & General, please have a look at our detailed communication about the buy-in. You can also get more information on how your data is held by Legal & General by reading their privacy notice.
The buy-in does not affect defined contribution benefits within the Credit Suisse Section.
A virtual 'Hello' from your Plan Trustee
Our role as Trustee is to look after your benefits in the Plan and we feel it’s important you know who we are.
The Trustee isn’t just one individual or a name on a letter. We’ve put together a short video for you to explain what we do and what our priorities are for the Credit Suisse Section.
Getting in touch
You can find out more about the Trustee on the 'Getting in touch' page.
You may receive a letter or email regarding verification of your details
From time to time we contact members to confirm that the information we hold for you is correct and up to date. Correct information ensures that we can continue to contact you with important information about your pension. It also helps us to prevent fraud.
In order to do this, we work with the Fund’s administrators, Fidelity, and an external data company. Currently we use LexisNexis Risk Solutions. LexisNexis works with lots of pension schemes like ours to help verify the information we hold for members.
If you receive a letter or email from Fidelity or LexisNexis Risk Solutions asking you to verify your details, please be assured this is a genuine request for information.

Which pension scheme are you in?
Before 1 June 2017, the Credit Suisse Group (UK) Pension Fund was Credit Suisse’s main UK pension scheme. Since January 2026 this has been renamed the Credit Suisse Section, part of the UBS (UK) Group Pension Plan.
On 1 June 2017 the Credit Suisse Master Trust was established. This is a separate scheme. The Credit Suisse Section and the Master Trust are both administered by Fidelity.
If you only have benefits in the Credit Suisse Master Trust, this website is not relevant for you. Please contact Fidelity for information about your benefits. Visit Help and contacts for contact details.
