Jupiter Investment Management Holdings is delighted to announce it has appointed Philip Johnson to the newly-created role of Chief Financial Officer - a board-level position created to reflect the growth of Jupiter's business.

Philip has worked in finance for 16 years, much of which time has been spent in the asset management sector. He will join Jupiter in October from Marshall Wace LLP, where he worked as Finance Director. Prior to this, Philip spent nine years at M&G, with the last five as Group Finance Director.

Edward Bonham Carter, Chief Executive of Jupiter Asset Management, said: "Jupiter's operations have expanded significantly in recent years. While the UK retail market remains core, we have extended our reach into the international, institutional and private client markets and feel that this growth warrants the creation of a board-level finance position. Philip has developed considerable expertise in the fund management sector during his career and we are delighted he has chosen to join us."
