The master trust will allow Aviva Group Protection to write multiple group life business under a single trust. The trust will be available on both registered and excepted policies. This means it can be used to offer life insurance to employees of all levels, including those employees not covered under a standard registered group life arrangement.
Aviva Group Protection Online is provided and underwritten by Friends Life, part of the Aviva Group.
Aviva group protection managing director Steve Bridger, said: “Cost and resources can be a real barrier for smaller companies who want to offer their staff workplace benefits.
“Using a Master Trust can reduce the cost and the time spent setting up a benefit and managing it in the future. Through auto-enrolment, hundreds of thousands of companies are in the middle of setting up their workplace pension schemes. This may be spurring business owners to take a look at what other benefits they can offer their employees at the same time.”
