Non-executive directors Emma Howard Boyd and Quintin Price have stepped down from Liontrust’s board with immediate effect.
In an announcement to the stock exchange on Friday (24 March), the £32.6bn asset manager said it is currently in the process of appointing new non-executive directors.
Howard Boyd was appointed to the board in January 2022. She spent two decades as stewardship director at Jupiter before stepping down in 2014 and currently chairs the Green Finance Institute, the Coalition for Climate Resilient Investment, and is an advisor to the UK Board of Trade.
Meanwhile, Price assumed his role in April 2021. He was previously Blackrock head of alpha strategy during a 10-year stint at the firm from 2005.
Alastair Barbour, chair of Liontrust, said: “On behalf of the board, I would like to thank Emma and Quintin for the contributions they have made to the board of Liontrust and wish them all the very best for the future.”
In February, the firm announced the departure of the head of global equity investment Robin Geffen amid plans to restructure the global equity franchise.
