Chair’s Statement
Robert Waugh, Chair of the Mastertrust Trustees, reports back on how well your pension scheme has been managed during the last scheme year.
Our role is to ensure the money in your pension is safe and being well managed and we work with Legal & General to ensure your pension offers good value for money.
The Chair's Statement looks at the progress made over the last scheme year, which runs from 6 April 2022 to 5 April 2023.
We are pleased to report that our view is that members continue to receive good value for money, rising to excellent in some areas.

There are two versions of the Mastertrust: the Legal & General WorkSave Mastertrust (RAS) and the Legal & General WorkSave Mastertrust (non-RAS). Ask your employer which one you’re in or use the guide below to help:
RAS
If your pension contributions are taken after you’ve paid tax on your earnings (your net pay), you’re in a ‘relief at source’ version of the Mastertrust.
2023 Chair’s Statement (RAS)Non-RAS
If your pension contributions are taken from your salary before you’ve paid tax, you’re in a ‘non-relief at source’ version of the Mastertrust.
