The New Ireland
Master Trust

The New Ireland Master Trust is a defined contribution pension scheme set up under trust that multiple employers can join. The master trust is governed by one trustee, Dawson Master Trustee DAC which was established for the sole purpose of providing a trustee service to the New Ireland Master Trust.

Going beyond meeting the requirements of the IORP II Directive, the New Ireland Master Trust transforms the member, employer and advisor experience delivering strong member engagement and efficiencies for the employer.

The transposition of IORP II (the EU Directive on the activities and supervision of institutions for occupational retirement provision) into Irish law has changed the landscape for occupational pension schemes in Ireland. IORP II sets minimum standards for the management and supervision of pensions and introduces many new obligations on Irish pension schemes including:

  • New trustee requirements and responsibilities
  • New governance provisions
  • New annual disclosure communication requirements

The challenge of meeting these changing regulatory requirements is leading many employers to consider a Master Trust arrangement for their pension scheme.

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.
