Expert governance

Employee benefits

Retirement can be a complex concept for many employees, and we recognise that different employees need different levels of support, so our approach is tailored to work for everyone.

Investment expertise matters 

Today in Ireland, with a majority of defined contribution company pension scheme assets invested in multi-asset funds, having your company pension with Zurich's award winning^ active investment managers is a good decision.

With the Zurich Master Trust, the default for new schemes is Personalised GuidePath (PGP), our award-winning investment strategy for company pensions^. Personalised GuidePath is built on Zurich's successful Prisma multi-asset funds. The Zurich Master Trust offers a concise range of eight carefully selected investment funds that will meet a wide range of member investment needs. We have a broader range of investment funds available should they be needed and we offer lots of information and support for members who want to learn more about investment risk and fund options. 

The constituents of the Market Average are multi-asset funds available from Life Company peers in the Irish market (Irish Life Assurance Company, Standard Life Assurance Company, New Ireland, Aviva), which target a similar level of volatility to Prisma 3, 4 and 5 respectively. Where a provider has multiple fund ranges we use the most prominent, and where risk targeting methodologies differ we seek to use the most comparable fund. All unit price information is sourced from Fund Focus (Moneymate). Performance figures are based on close of markets prices 30/06/2025, based on best available information. Annual management fees apply. Returns are based on offer to offer performance and do not represent the return achieved by individual policies linked to the funds..
