Median Total Master Trust Return Continues Positive Performance for Third Straight Quarter in Q3 2019 According to BNY Mellon U.S. Master Trust Universe/BNY Mellon Asset Strategy View®


NEW YORK, Nov. 13, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The BNY Mellon U.S. Master Trust Universe returned a median +1.09% in the third quarter of 2019, continuing the trend of positive quarterly performance seen in the first and second quarters respectively.

The BNY Mellon U.S. Master Trust Universe offers peer comparisons of performance by plan type and size. It consists of 502 corporate, foundation, endowment, public, Taft-Hartley, and health care plans with a total market value of more than $2.2 trillion and an average plan size of over $7.2 billion. In aggregate, U.S. Master Trust Universe plans reported a one-year return of 5.91%, lagging its 3-year annualized return of +7.91% and  5-year annualized return of +5.94%.  

For the fourth quarter in a row, corporate plans outperformed, as public market investment allocations continued to outperform allocations to alternatives. Endowment performance continued to lag other plan types due to having the largest allocation to alternatives.

"Corporate pensions have more long duration fixed income than other types of investors as a result of their pension obligations. This quarter, the corporate pension fixed income assets outperformed the total universe fixed income composites by over 200 bps. Corporate pensions also benefited from relatively higher allocations to US equities relative to non-U.S. equities," said Frances Barney, CFA, Head of Global Risk Solutions at BNY Mellon.
