About UP Provident Fund

UP Provident Fund, Inc. (UPPFI) is a voluntary retirement fund established by the University of the Philippines (UP) with a mandate to provide UP employees with supplementary retirement benefits, in addition to GSIS, and other financial services (including loans and financial assistance, life insurance coverage, and financial literacy, among others).

The Fund was approved by the UP Board of Regents in 1994 and registered as a non-stock, non-profit corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in 1997.

As of 2020, more than 10,000 out of a total of 13,000+ employees across all UP campuses are members of the UP Provident Fund. This means 3 out of 4 UP employees are currently members of UP Provident Fund.

Board of Trustees (BOT)

The Fund is governed by the Board of Trustees (BOT) headed by the UP President as Chairperson and assisted by the UP Vice President for Administration as Vice-Chairperson.

Two (2) member-representatives from each of the four UPPFI cluster units also sit as members of the Board. The four campus clusters are:

Cluster 1: UP Diliman / Baguio / System Administration

Cluster 2: UP Manila / PGH

Cluster 3: UP Los Banos / Open University

Cluster 4: UP Visayas / Cebu / Mindanao

The day-to-day administration and management of the Fund is led by the Executive Director, supported by other officers and staff in the four campus cluster offices.
