Jupiter Asset Management announce that Piers Hillier has today officially joined the firm as Chief Investment Officer. He will oversee the Group’s investment management teams and capabilities, lead the development of new investment propositions and support the attraction of industry-leading talent.
Piers joins Jupiter from Royal London Asset Management, where he served as CIO from 2015, and brings with him over 30 years of experience in investment management. Prior to his last role, Piers was Head of International Equities at Kames Capital, CIO at LV Asset Management , and held senior European equities positions at WestLB, Deutsche Asset Management and Schroders.
Jupiter has undertaken a series of changes to strengthen its investment capabilities in the last two years, sharpening its focus in areas where client demand is greatest and reinforcing access to high-conviction, differentiated investment expertise.
The Group has reinvigorated its UK and European equities capabilities and established a strong multi-regional equities platform through the acquisition of Origin Asset Management’s investment team and assets in January 2025. In February 2026, the acquisition of CCLA Investment Management was completed, broadening the Group’s depth of investment expertise and expanding its presence into a new non-profit client channel.
Matthew Beesley, Chief Executive Officer at Jupiter Asset Management, commented: “We are delighted to welcome Piers as he formally takes up the role of Chief Investment Officer at this exciting time for Jupiter. We have already made meaningful progress in strengthening our investment platform, and his leadership will be critical as we continue to build on that momentum.”
Piers Hillier, Chief Investment Officer at Jupiter Asset Management, commented: “Having now joined Jupiter, I am excited to be working closely with Matt and the wider investment management team. The firm’s commitment to truly active, differentiated investment management is clear, as is the quality and depth of talent across the business. Building on the progress already made, I see a strong platform from which to continue developing the firm’s offering, supporting our clients and contributing to the next phase of Jupiter’s growth.”
