Long-standing Relationship Continues as Northern Trust Supports the Scheme's Strategic Objectives
Northern Trust (Nasdaq: NTRS) today announced it has been reappointed by People's Pension to provide fund administration, global custody, securities lending and performance measurement. The agreement extends a relationship that began in 2018 and supports the pension scheme's ongoing investment and operational objectives.
People's Pension is one of the United Kingdom's leading workplace pension schemes, serving 7.2 million members and helping businesses across all sectors provide retirement benefits for their employees. The scheme manages £45 billion in assets (approximately US $60.1 billion) and continues to build on its long-term growth trajectory.
Over the past eight years, Northern Trust has worked closely with People's Pension through a significant evolution of its investment operating model, including its transition to direct asset ownership and a multi-asset class structure.
"This reappointment reflects the strength of our longstanding relationship with People's Pension and our shared commitment to delivering positive outcomes for millions of UK savers," said Ian Hamilton, head of asset owners, EMEA (Europe, the Middle East and Africa), at Northern Trust.
"Since 2018, we have worked closely together to support the scheme's significant growth and evolution, providing the operational scale, governance framework and specialist expertise required by one of the UK's leading defined contribution pension schemes. As the UK DC market continues to evolve through regulatory reform, consolidation and increasing investment sophistication, we remain committed to helping People's Pension deliver on its long-term ambitions and the needs of its members."
Chris Fagan, Trustee and Chair of the Investment Committee for People's Pension commented: "We are pleased to continue our longstanding relationship with Northern Trust, whose team has developed a deep understanding of our operations and objectives over many years. Together, we are focused on strengthening our capabilities and ensuring we continue to deliver the best possible outcomes for our 7.2 million hardworking members."
