XPS Pensions Group has appointed Jo Carter as a partner in its growing risk settlement team.
Carter joins XPS Pensions Group after working with Mercer for 25 years, where she specialised in risk settlement for most of her career.
She has provided advice on buy-in and buyout projects for schemes of various kinds, including transactions over £1bn that involved several multinational corporations and FTSE 100 customers.
Carter will lead buy-in and buyout transactions at XPS Pensions Group and assist customers with designing their strategic end-game journeys.
Carter is the most recent member of XPS Pensions Group’s expanding risk settlement team. The company recently named Stephen Purves as head of risk settlement to manage the expansion of XPS Pensions Group’s market presence.
XPS Pensions Group head of risk settlement Stephen Purves says: “Jo is a great addition to our team. Her depth of experience and expertise in managing transactions across all sizes will be invaluable to our clients as they look to secure the best outcomes for their members.”
Carter says: “It’s an exciting time to be joining XPS’s Risk Settlement team, which is going from strength to strength. I’m looking forward to playing a key role as the business brings its unique offer in this market to ever more pension schemes.”
