The story

Phoenix Group is one of the UK's largest long-term savings and retirement businesses, historically focused on closed life insurance fund consolidation. Over time it has expanded into open (active) workplace pensions and retirement savings, competing for new pension savers rather than solely managing legacy books. The TCS partnership for workplace pension administration signals a move toward scalable, technology-enabled pension servicing infrastructure.
