If you’re wondering what all the hype is surrounding Master Trusts or you’re after the next big trend in the DC pensions world, then you should visit the DC Master Trust Marketplace. 

What is the Marketplace?

Hymans Robertson's DC Master Trust Marketplace brings together leading Master Trust providers all in one place to discuss key topical issues. For this first series we have 12 leading providers with combined assets under management of £40 billion, looking after more than 11 million pension scheme members.

Why head over to the Marketplace?

Undoubtedly, Master Trusts are expected to be the driving force in the DC market for many years to come. These roundtable discussions give you first-hand insight into the Master Trust world and you can hear providers' thoughts, directly from leaders within their business.

In this first series you can hear about all three of our key topics, or simply take your pick on one of interest:

• Responsible investing (RI). The providers demonstrate that responsible investing is more than just ticking a box - it’s about making a positive impact without causing a negative impact on performance. Hear more about how they integrate RI into their approach, how they continue to develop this approach, and how they measure this against their own targets.

• Member outcomes. The providers highlight the importance of giving members confidence about their pension savings and wider financial wellbeing. Hear more about how they segment and target their communications to drive engagement, using data science and techniques such as nudges.

• Technology. The importance of technology has really come to the forefront – helping providers adapt during these challenging times. Hear about why they are investing heavily in technology, the rise of online and mobile technology, and the need for flexible and adaptable platforms.

What has been the reaction so far?

The marketplace roundtables have certainly stirred up some debate – especially around Responsible Investing - providing a very useful glimpse into the future of the DC pensions world. Don’t take my word for it – here’s feedback from the audience so far…

“Really like the way you stood back and let the providers tell their stories, but kept each one to a single slide so it wasn't boring!”

“Overall - very insightful thank you”

What’s next?

Following the success of the first series, the next roundtable will provide a different perspective – you can expect to hear from Master Trust Trustee boards and what matters to pension scheme savers.
