Master trusts have become an integral part of the Irish pension landscape, mirroring their growth in other jurisdictions. This report explores the current state of the master trust market in Ireland and supports employers considering moving to – or who have already moved to — a master trust.
Designed to be informative, insightful and thought-provoking, this report emphasises the business value of pension arrangements that attract, reward and retain employees. This is particularly relevant in light of upcoming auto-enrolment legislation requiring employer contributions.
Across the market, master trusts are helping employers of all sizes unlock business value through improved pension experiences and outcomes for employees. Currently representing about 50% of the defined contribution pension scheme market by assets under management, master trusts are expected to continue growing due to regulatory challenges faced by standalone pension arrangements in Ireland.
