Jupiter Asset Management Confirms New CIO
The appointment was first announced by the London-headquartered firm last September.
Jupiter Asset Management announced that Piers Hillier (pictured) officially joined the firm yesterday as chief investment officer.
Hillier, who has more than 30 years of investment management experience, 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, the firm said in a statement.
He has joined from Royal London Asset Management, where he served as CIO from 2015. Prior to his last role, Hiller 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 said it 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 multi-regional equities platform through the acquisition of Origin Asset Management’s investment team and assets in January 2025. In February 2026, it completed the acquisition of CCLA Investment Management, broadening the group’s investment expertise and expanding its presence in a new non-profit client channel.
“We have already made meaningful progress in strengthening our investment platform, and his [Hillier's] leadership will be critical as we continue to build on that momentum,” Matthew Beesley, chief executive officer at Jupiter Asset Management, said.
“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,” Hillier added.
