DC Defaults and Illiquid assets – The Journey continues…

We are one year on from our previous paper in this series, ‘Illiquid Assets – further insights on the DC Master Trust market’, which set out UK master trust providers’ early plans for incorporating illiquid assets into DC default strategies.

Since then, the debate has shifted from ‘should we?’ to ‘how do we do this well?’. For trustees, IGCs and governance committees, the critical question is whether the chosen approach is robust, suitably liquid, appropriately priced and capable of improving member outcomes net of fees.

In this latest paper, we review where the UK master trust market has landed and how plans have evolved over the last twelve months.
