Salvus Master Trust’s assets under management have surpassed £200m.

It said that the growth reflects the firm’s continued commitment to the master trust market and focus on providing a robust and technology-led service, built on strong governance and ‘easy to use’ administration systems. Salvus Master Trust head of sales, Bill Finch, commented: “We are delighted to have hit this milestone. This is testament to the hard work of the team and to the loyalty of our clients.”

Braintree District Council, Epping Forest District Council and Colchester Borough Council have partnered with MHR Analytics to manage their pensions return processes.

The councils hope that the approach will reduce the time and money the authorities spend on identifying and collating employee pension returns, eradicating the risk of financial penalties for inaccurate or late returns. MHR plans to deliver simplified and accurate monthly and annual data submissions for the three local authorities.

AJ Bell has launched its Retirement Portfolio Service to help financial advisers manage clients taking income in retirement.

It will be relevant for any clients requiring a sustainable income in later life and is available via Sipp, ISA or general investment account. It could be particularly attractive to those drawing an income under the pension freedoms. The service combines four strategies designed to prolong the longevity of portfolios in decumulation, whilst minimising sequencing risk.
