Alexander commented: “I am excited and honoured to take on this role – it is critical master trusts are at the forefront of the debate about how the market should evolve, and I am looking forward to leading the committee as we continue supporting key developments including work to address the proliferation of small deferred pension pots and the pensions dashboard.”
