DC Pensions with Gary Smith, Atlas Master Trust

Atlas: The considered choice of master trusts. Atlas is the trustee-led Master Trust representing the considered choice for employers who want their employees to have the financial futures they choose. Everything we do is for our members, giving them control and the confidence that their hard-earned money and their best interests are being looked after by an independent, proactive board of trustees. With an open structure to partner with the right practitioners, Atlas is supported by the people experts Capita, daily administrators of British life and the investment expertise of Schroders. Together, we ensure that no member retires on an income that’s a surprise to them.
