What does this mean?
“This is a $62 trillion global sector in the early stages of being disrupted, and we are uniquely positioned to take advantage of that,” said Evans and Wynne. “We have already reached scale and profitability in the UK, with Smart Pension now serving in excess of one million savers, and this backing allows us to achieve that scale and profitability in our global markets across the group.”
