Our Commercial function works in partnership with the rest of the business to deliver revenue targets, set pricing for products, and design and deliver investment solutions.
We also ensure our longstanding customers continue to receive good outcomes, along with developing and implementing the strategy for both our annuities business and our data vision. All this is underpinned by an effective control environment that is tested and supported by a designated team within the function.
