Corporate Master Trust

Built around the needs of Group Pension members

The Aviva Corporate Master Trust is established under a single legal trust, overseen by a trustee board acting on behalf of all participating employers. 

Each employer operates within its own dedicated section of the wider arrangement, providing clear structure and governance.

The Trustee plays a central role in the effective operation of the Trust, holding ultimate responsibility for investment decisions and ensuring the scheme delivers the best possible outcomes for members. The Trustee is supported by a robust governance framework, including key function holders — Grant Thornton as Internal Audit Partner and LCP as Risk Manager — providing independent oversight and specialist expertise.

Aviva are the Founders of the Corporate Master Trust and are also the Registered Administrator. Our Corporate Master Trust provides employers and members with investment choice across a range of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) solutions which allow members to have as much or as little an active engagement on how their money is managed as they choose. Along with investment choice, we also offer a range of additional benefits such as Aviva Care which gives Master Trust Members five health and wellbeing services that line up to offer total protection for you and your family. As one of the largest insurers across Ireland and the UK, you can rely on our size and strength to be there, when we are needed most.
