on the chairmanship of the Nomination Committee and join the
Remuneration Committee following the AGM.
Andrew Ross is a highly experienced financial services
practitioner having spent over 20 years in senior roles at
investment and wealth management firms. Andrew was Chief Executive
Officer of Cazenove Capital Management from 2001, growing assets
from GBP7bn to GBP24bn until its acquisition by Schroders plc in
2013, where he became Global Head of Wealth Management. Andrew is
currently Vice Chairman Wealth Management at Schroders plc and a
Non-Executive director of Witan Investment Trust plc where he is
due to take over as Chairman at the next AGM in April. Andrew will
be joining the Audit and Risk, Nomination and Remuneration
Committees following the AGM.
Both appointments are subject to the receipt of the usual
regulatory references.

Capital Holdings and that Andrew is to join the Board as
Non-Executive Director. Both Andrew and David bring a wealth of
experience within the investment management sector that will help
the Group continue to deliver on its strategic objectives."

"I would like to thank Tom for his dedication to the Group
throughout his tenure as Chairman and invaluable advice. I also
