A master trust allows employers to outsource the governance, investment and administration of their DC pensions schemes. Legal & General is one of the largest and fastest growing providers of master trusts, with a range of investment and retirement solutions and the underlying technology required to meet the needs of members throughout their entire DC journey.

Dermot Courtier, Chair of the Legal & General Mastertrust, commented: “Managing DC schemes has become more complex for employers, who are contending with rising costs, greater governance and regulatory pressures and the increasing load of administration. As a result, master trusts are fast becoming the option of choice for a cost efficient, flexible workplace pension scheme for both Employers and the membership."
