While most employers recognise the benefits of a trust-based approach to DC provision, many would prefer not to have to manage the burden of trusteeship themselves.
A master trust is a pension plan catering for multiple different employers. Under the master trust, trusteeship, administration, investment and many communications are dealt with centrally for all the different plans within the master trust. Each employer retains control over key specifics like the level of contribution applicable to their own Plan, but the burden of trusteeship has been removed – as have certain other burdens relating to stand alone pension schemes such as the cost relating to annual reports and accounts.
