Xafinity

Helen Morrissey looks at the implications of the Treasury announcement on transfers

Xafinity Consulting has appointed Ben Bramhall as commercial director to help lead the expansion of its pension advisory service.

Xafinity Consulting has named Jeff Hunt as managing director.

Xafinity has signed an agreement to use RiskFirst's PFaroe risk management platform throughout its advisory and investment business.

The Association of Consulting Actuaries (ACA) has appointed KPMG partner David Fairs as chairman.

Former Skipton Building Society pension and benefits manager Paul Scott has stepped into the newly-created role of sales director at Xafinity.

Sponsoring employers need to review their scheme VAT processes and make protective claims against HMRC following a ruling by the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU), Xafinity urges.

Trustees closing occupational defined contribution (DC) schemes must keep members' best interests at heart when considering a master trust bulk transfer, Xafinity warns.

The total deficit of private sector UK defined benefit (DB) schemes increased by £100bn last month as rising inflation expectations pushed up liabilities, figures show.

It should be mandatory for small self-administered pension schemes to have a professional trustee to avoid potential devastating tax charges, a provider has said.
