Emma Douglas, Head of Defined Contribution at LGIM: "The Legal & General Mastertrust will remain central to our future strategy as we continue to harness the power of technology to further innovate in the post-retirement solutions space and support savers in their retirement journeys. I would like to thank all our participating employers for joining the Mastertrust and their ongoing support. Thanks to its scale, the Mastertrust is an attractive proposition for members, offering more sophisticated asset allocation and improved governance, at a low cost."
Dermot Courtier, Independent chair of the L&G Mastertrust: "We are thrilled that the L&G Mastertrust has reached this important milestone and the Trustees look forward to continuing to provide value for members and best in class governance. The regulatory climate and investment backdrop continues to present challenges for employers and master trusts are growing in popularity as they offer flexibility, cost efficiency and robust governance."
