Artemis has announced Man GLG’s Teun Johnston (pictured) as the firm’s CEO. He will join at the beginning of April, as senior partner Mark Murray retires at the end of June.
Murray has led the group for nearly a decade after first joining Artemis in 1997 and becoming COO in 2001. Johnston became co-CEO of Man GLG in 2013 before becoming the sole CEO in 2016. He was previously head of investments at Oakley Capital.
“Teun is an experienced leader in the asset management industry with a strong track record of driving growth. I am delighted that Teun is joining Artemis to lead the business through its next phase of growth,” Murray said.

In 2024, Artemis grew its AUM to £28.5bn and Murray said that over 95% of the company’s AUM is top quartile from launch.
“Over the past 10 years, by maintaining our keen focus on delivering excellent returns for clients, we have put Artemis in a strong position. Building on our core strength in UK equities, we have broadened our asset base with the hire of one of the best fixed income teams in the country; we have generated strong growth in US, Emerging Markets and global equities; and we have launched a Luxembourg SICAV to attract investors from Europe,” Murray said.
“It’s a good time to be passing the baton.”

Johnston added: “Artemis is a unique organisation. It has the culture and ownership structure to attract and retain great talent, and the operational strength to give fund managers the support they need to excel.
“I am excited to continue to build on Artemis’ vision of delivering superior client outcomes through a range of highly differentiated active investment strategies, as an independent firm. The value of this approach has been clearly demonstrated to clients through excellent investment returns aligned with exemplary client service.
“Looking ahead, we will seek to further enhance Artemis’ strengths in ongoing collaboration with our supportive strategic partner, AMG, with a focus on broadening our client base internationally and diversifying our investment offering.”
