What is a Master Trust?
A (DC) Master Trust is a defined contribution pension scheme or plan designed for multiple non-associated employers under one trust arrangement. Employers have peace of mind knowing that all trust based regulatory and governance responsibilities are looked after within the Master Trust while they retain the flexibility to decide the benefit structure and eligibility rules of the plan.
Each employer benefits from being a part of one trust, but each employer's plan is administered entirely separately and reflects their plan preferences.
- The employer decides on questions like the level of contributions.
- The trustee board makes the final key decisions around investment, governance, administration and communications.
