TPT Retirement Solutions – Adam Tudor has joined the firm as head of defined contribution (DC) distribution.
In his new role, Tudor will be responsible for the development of TPT’s DC sales strategy. As TPT enters an ambitious period for its growth, and its aspirations as a consolidator, the DC offering is a critical solution.
Tudor’s appointment comes at an exciting time for TPT, as he will play a key role in the launch of TPT’s new DC proposition, set to take place in the second half of 2024. The proposition will ease the process of retiring for members by simplifying the transition from accumulation to decumulation.
TPT will offer DC members access to a straightforward pathway that aims to provide a sustainable inflation-linked stream of income into retirement. It will be based on the principles of simplicity, low cost, and remove the need for members to have to take complex, advised decisions.
The offering will form part of a digital solution with tools to make retirement choices clear and easier to understand.
Tudor has extensive experience across both pensions and financial services, and his expertise is a key asset for TPT’s plans for innovation. Prior to joining TPT, he served most recently as head of business development at Smart Pension, a position he held for over five years.
He was also business development manager at NOW, and business development manager at HSBC retirement services. Tudor will report to Nicholas Clapp, commercial director.
