Joanne Segars, chief executive of the UK's National Association of Pension Funds, looks set to take over as chairman of the European Federation of Retirement Provision, the EU-level pensions trade body.

Segars is in pole position to take over from Patrick Burke as the EFRP's national member organisations prepare to meet next Monday in Dublin to elect his successor, according to a report in trade magazine aiCIO, quoting a source close to the organisation.
