We value the perspective he has gained from a number of both executive and non-executive leadership roles, his experience in the UK listed company environment and his learnings from operating across a number of different sectors within financial services. On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank David for his service to Jupiter both in his role as Chair of the Board and previously as Chair of the Audit and Risk Committee. He has been a source of advice, leadership and counsel to us all."

Nathan Bostock said: "I am delighted to be taking up this role, and look forward to working with the Jupiter Board.

I look forward to working with the Board to guide Jupiter through this next stage of evolution and growth."

Matthew Beesley, Chief Executive Officer, said: "We are all very pleased to welcome Nathan to the Board. Nathan brings a wealth of leadership experience in financial services. I look forward to drawing upon his expertise in driving sustainable growth in businesses as we move into the next stage of Jupiter's evolution.
