Pension plans
Our WorkSave Pension Plan is a group personal pension with the option to offer self-investment if required. The plan was designed with the collective needs of an employer's entire workforce in mind. Governance is overseen by the Independent Governance Committee (IGC).
Our Legal & General Mastertrust offers all the flexibility and benefits of a trust-based scheme but without the responsibility of running a trustee board.
It can help you manage the long-term cost of pension provision, especially with auto-enrolment, by reducing the future liabilities attached to running your own defined contribution scheme. It also offers a high level of scheme governance to benefit you and your employees.
Yet while being in a multi-employer scheme simplifies the process of managing member benefits and keeps costs down, each participating employer is treated separately within the Mastertrust to allow for a tailored approach to individual budgets, contractual obligations and company ethos.
Our WorkSave Pension Trust offers a flexible trust-based DC pension solution.
With a range of investments and tailored servicing options it enables you, as trustee, to retain responsibility for the management of your pension scheme and be actively involved in decision making.
Our WorkSave Buy Out Plan allows pension scheme trustees to discharge their liabilities for defined contribution member benefits without the need for consent from members.
It enables trustees to provide members with a buy-out contract – either following the wind-up of their occupational pension scheme or for securing benefits for members with short service.
Our WorkSave Buy Out Plan also offers the option of the Future World Multi-Asset Fund for trustees who wish to offer their members a default arrangement that takes a positive ESG stance.

Independent Governance Committee (IGC)
The IGC’s objectives are to provide independent oversight of Legal & General’s governance policies and to assess whether members are receiving value for money from the Legal & General scheme.
On the IGC’s website you can read its policies and its latest annual report, as well as finding out more about the IGC members and the work they do.
