Long-standing Relationship Continues as Northern Trust Supports the Scheme's Strategic Objectives

LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--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.

"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."
