Summary
Professional Pensions reported in its Tender Watch roundup of recent industry tender awards that Northern Trust has been reappointed by People's Pension to provide fund administration and performance measurement services to the scheme. The article characterizes the decision as the firm continuing to serve the scheme in these roles.
Publisher material and an AWP Alliance News report describe a broader mandate. According to these accounts, Northern Trust will provide fund administration, global custody and securities lending, and the firm has described the renewal as reflecting a longstanding relationship with the scheme and a shared commitment to delivering services. People's Pension is a UK workplace pension with no shareholders, which the scheme itself highlights as a core feature.
For institutional readers, the renewal is a continuity decision: the scheme has retained an existing custodian and administrator through a tender process rather than moving those functions to another provider. Financial terms of the mandate were not disclosed in the available reporting.
