LifeSight Ireland’s Commitment to Member Value demonstrated via first Irish Master Trust CTS Review

Dublin, 14th July 2026

In its drive to consistently achieve value for money for its members, the Trustee of the LifeSight Ireland Master Trust partnered with ClearGlass Ireland to complete their Cost Transparency Standard (CTS) review of the Scheme. The CTS was introduced in Ireland in July 2024 with LifeSight Ireland the first Irish Master Trust to undergo this rigorous assessment. ClearGlass assessed the investment costs and performance delivered by LifeSight’s asset managers employed against the wider market, to ensure optimal outcomes have been obtained.

The CTS is supported by the Pension Authority and supports the Trustee’s obligation to have a clear view of the explicit and implicit charges members pay. Positively, LifeSight Ireland has been able to evidence to its client schemes and their members that it has delivered good value for money, with overall fees lower than expected when compared to similar sized mandates.

Ciarán Long, Chair of the LifeSight Ireland Master Trust, said ‘The Trustee Board welcomes the outcome of the ClearGlass Cost Transparency assessment, which reflects the depth of governance and scrutiny applied to the scheme. This is a rigorous, independent evaluation of value for money, and it reinforces our commitment to continuous improvement. LifeSight is dedicated to challenging itself through external review to ensure members receive high-quality, cost-effective investment solutions.”

Maria Quinlan, Head of LifeSight Ireland, said ‘We are very pleased to have been able to participate in this independent assessment of value through the CTS and to be able to report to the schemes we represent that WTW LifeSight is not only already delivering good value for money but will also seek to improve terms further where the opportunity has been identified to ensure that we optimise outcomes for schemes and members, and can evidence this.’

Oliver Bell, Head of Research at ClearGlass Analytics, said ‘LifeSight Ireland has demonstrated that they are completely focused on ensuring that schemes they represent obtain best market outcomes relative to the wider market. This independent assessment of value through the CTS has shown that LifeSight Ireland has procured asset management services very effectively with costs lower than the market benchmark with performance aligned with the market benchmark. They have also shown that they are always seeking to optimise outcomes for schemes they represent by using data generated from the CTS review to ensure they are obtaining best market outcomes.’

LifeSight Ireland is committed to improving member outcomes at retirement and delivering an investment solution with lower costs than the wider market, providing members with access to our innovative strategies at globally competitive fees.
