What is DB Master Trust?
DB Master Trust brings together defined benefit (DB) pension schemes from different, unrelated employers under one expertly managed umbrella.
Our integrated approach brings together fiduciary management, administration, covenant, actuarial, payroll, trusteeship and legal services to streamline operations, with the aim of creating time and cost efficiencies and reducing complexity.
Each employer’s scheme is ring fenced from other schemes within the Master Trust, safeguarding it from other scheme’s liabilities. Schemes are then able to benefit from the efficiencies and robust governance of a larger, consolidated arrangement.
By moving your scheme’s assets and responsibilities into DB Master Trust, you can hand over the day-to-day running to our team of specialists - freeing up resources to focus on other strategic areas.
