With Master Trusts dominating the DC Market, Master Trust Trustees have a lot of power in shaping the future of the DC Market. But, with great power comes great responsibility. In our latest roundtable discussions, it was really interesting to hear from leading Master Trust Trustees on how they see the future of the DC pension market developing, the challenges they face in their role, and what we can learn from them.

We received some interesting questions which unfortunately we didn’t get around to asking the panel on the day. We really wanted to share these questions and answers with you, so, we’ve outlined them here:

Make sure you head over to the Hymans’ DC Master Trust Marketplace hub  to hear our panel share their thoughts on responsible investing, governance and overall value for members. We covered a number of questions, including:

• How do you develop a Responsible Investing (RI) policy which reflects the Trustees’ views but might differ from the Master Trust provider’s views? How do you justify or benchmark your RI approach?   
• How do you assess your effectiveness as a trustee board? How do you independently benchmark your performance and monitor your board effectiveness? How do you fare on Diversity and Inclusion? 
• How do you define value for members? What challenges do you face when assessing value for members and improving value for members?
