History

edit

The company was established as a pensions consultancy and administration business within Equiniti in around 1990. It then adopted the brand name, Xafinity. It acquired a rival firm, Hazell Carr, in April 2008.[3]

CBPE acquired the business from Equiniti in February 2013: it was then the subject of an initial public offering on the London Stock Exchange in February 2017.[4]

It acquired another rival firm, Punter Southall & Co., in January 2018 and then changed its name to XPS Pensions in May 2018.[5]

It went on to acquire the corporate pensions business of Royal London Group in May 2019[6] and to buy Trigon Professional Services in November 2019.[7][8]
