Professional Pensions spoke to three leading providers asking them why employers should choose a master trust; and how these schemes can improve investment and at-retirement options. This is what they said…

Just 4% of employers plan to use the National Employment Savings Trust in conjunction with another scheme as their auto-enrolment strategy, Xafinity research claims.

DC members are 25% worse off than seven weeks ago because poorly designed investment strategies have failed to protect from volatility and market falls, Xafinity says.

The Pensions Regulator should encourage smaller employers to explore the defined contribution market to fulfil auto-enrolment duties rather than favour NEST, the Society of Pension Consultants says.
