Old Mutual Wealth Expands Board Of Directors

Old Mutual Wealth's new director becomes the sixth appointment to the board since the new chairman took over the reigns in September 2016.

Old Mutual Wealth has appointed Jon Little as an independent non-executive director. He will become the sixth director to be appointed to the board since Glyn Jones became chairman in September 2016.

Little is currently a partner at Northill Capital, a company which he founded in 2010, the firm said in a statement yesterday.

Prior to Northill, Little was vice chairman at BNY Mellon Asset Management. He joined BNY Mellon in 2000, where he also head of BNY Mellon’s international asset management business, responsible for all non-US asset management businesses.

“I am delighted that Jon has agreed to join the board as his skill-set complements those of the other directors,” said Jones. “Jon’s excellent knowledge and understanding of the asset management industry will be invaluable as we continue to develop Old Mutual Global Investors and Quilter Cheviot.  He will also help support this unique and successful wealth management business on its journey to an independent future."

WealthBriefing reported that Old Mutual Wealth recently purchased its second firm in two months in May 2017, when it acquired Maestro Financial Services.
