What is a Master Trust and the benefits

A trust protects pension members by legally separating pension plan assets from company assets, keeping your savings safe. A master trust is simply a “master” pension plan, which brings multiple company plans together under one large trust. 

Easy online access

Keep track of your pension, change contributions, make top-ups and switch funds through the MyIrishLife mobile app.

Friendly pension experts

You’ll get guidance and support from our helpful Pension Education Team.

Build your future

Educational content and webinars, timely reminders, helpful tools and calculators will guide you throughout your career.

Smart investment options

Our personalised default investment strategy directs your investment into appropriate funds that best match the benefits we believe you are most likely to take on your retirement. Or you can choose your own investments from a wide range of funds, including sustainable choices.

Safe and secure

Strong governance and independent trustees mean your pension savings are well managed and subject to expert oversight.

How to make additional voluntary contributions (AVCs)

Additional Voluntary Contributions (AVCs) are a tax-efficient way for pension members to increase their retirement savings. Extra contributions made by employees help boost their pension savings. AVCs can be made as a regular contribution or a one-off lump sum top-up.
