Chatfeild-Roberts named Jupiter CIO

Jupiter multi-manager head John Chatfeild-Roberts has taken over the group’s CIO role from Edward Bonham Carter.

Chatfeild-Roberts, who will continue as head of the Jupiter Merlin fund of funds team, will be responsible for leading and developing the group's investment managers.

Bonham Carter, who has combined the CIO role with his work as chief executive officer since 2000, will remain as CEO.

"In recent years John has been involved with me in many aspects of my work as CIO. With Jupiter's business enjoying strong growth, it is the right time for John to take on the full CIO role," Bonham Carter says.

"This will enable me to have a greater focus on developing Jupiter's growing business and extending its international reach. In the nine years he has worked here, John has added materially to performance for Jupiter's clients."

John Chatfeild-Roberts adds: "Investment is a people business and Jupiter has created a tremendous culture where fund managers are individually responsible for the funds they manage and work in an environment where they are able to perform to the best of their ability.

"I am excited to have been given the chance to lead the team as CIO and contribute further to the company's development."
