Details

The code helps those involved in master trusts to understand how to satisfy us that the authorisation criteria are met at application and continue to be met throughout supervision.

A master trust scheme is an occupational pension scheme which:

  • provides money purchase benefits (whether alone or in conjunction with other benefits)
  • is used, or is intended to be used, by 2 or more unconnected employers
  • is not a relevant public service pension scheme

This code applies to those involved in the operation of a master trust, for example trustees, scheme strategists, scheme funders and their advisers.
