XPS Pensions Group has appointed Paul Armitage as the new head for its master trust, The National Pension Trust.
Armitage, who was formerly head of distribution at NPT replaces Dave Hodges who retired earlier this year.

XPS Pensions Group co-CEO Ben Bramhall says: “I am delighted that Paul will lead NPT – our market leading master trust – as this is a key area for XPS and the future of the pensions industry.
“We believe master trusts and NPT in particular will play a vital role in the future of pension provision, offering schemes and their members the well-governed, low-cost options that so many need. “
