The Pensions and Lifetime Savings Association (PLSA) has expanded its policy and research teams with two new appointments.
Simon Sarkar (pictured) has recently joined as head of research, where he commissions and undertakes a range of industry and consumer projects.
He joins the trade body for 1,300 pension schemes from the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), where he spent the past 13 years in the research team. His most recent position at the regulator was as a technical specialist covering consumer insight.
Elsewhere, the PLSA has appointed Tiffany Tsang as policy lead to its governance and investment team, working across defined benefit (DB) pensions and local government pension schemes (LGPS).
The economist brings more than 15 years of pension policy experience to the organisation. Tsang joins from the Association of British Insurers, where she most recently worked as policy adviser specialising in the UK retirement market.
