John Chatfeild-Roberts to step down as a Director of Jupiter Fund Management plc

Jupiter Fund Management plc ("Jupiter", the "Company") announces that John Chatfeild-Roberts will be stepping down as a Director of Jupiter with effect from 30 November 2016.  He will continue as a full-time employee of Jupiter in charge of the Jupiter Merlin Portfolios.

John, who has served on the Board for nine years, has worked at Jupiter for 15 years, including five years as Chief Investment Officer.  Together with Algy Smith-Maxwell, he is responsible for creating and managing the Company's award-winning Jupiter Merlin fund range.

Liz Airey, Chairman of Jupiter, said: "John has made an exceptional contribution to Jupiter.  At the same time as providing valuable perspectives at the Board level, he has delivered strong performance over the long term to clients in one of Jupiter's most important and successful investment strategies.  We appreciate the dual role he has played for many years and support his decision to step back from his Board responsibilities to focus solely on running his funds."

John Chatfeild-Roberts said: "I have greatly enjoyed my time on the Board of Jupiter and its predecessor companies, helping in the overall success of the Company.  However, investing clients' money in the Jupiter Merlin funds is the job I enjoy the most; I relish the opportunity to devote all my time to building on the performance track record we have established on behalf of our clients."
