Board as an independent Non-Executive Director later this year.
Roger will be appointed as a member of the Nomination and

Roger has been a senior figure in the asset management industry
for more than 30 years. During this period, he led two global asset

Having started his career in portfolio management, Roger worked

currently on the board of St James's Place plc, where he chairs the
remuneration committee. He is also a non-executive director at
JPMorgan Elect plc.
Liz Airey, Chairman of Jupiter, said: "Jupiter will benefit
greatly from Roger's broad industry experience, particularly that
gained as CEO of a UK listed asset manager and as a non-executive
director of a number of UK financial services companies. We look
forward to the perspective and insight he will bring to our Board
discussions as we seek to build on our successful growth
strategy."
Roger Yates said: "Jupiter has a reputation for delivering
consistent investment outperformance and impressive sales growth. I
look forward to helping the Board and executive team achieve
Jupiter's strategic objectives."
