Jupiter has hired Nick Ring as global head of distribution.

Ring will join Jupiter in September from Columbia Threadneedle Investments. He will become a member of the executive committee and play a key role in developing and implementing the company’s strategy.

“Nick has broad experience in the asset management industry, leading numerous strategic initiatives throughout his career in roles covering distribution, product innovation, marketing and commercial strategy," said Maarten Slendebroek, CEO of Jupiter. 

"This experience dovetails well with the expertise we already have in-house and we are delighted to have attracted someone of his calibre to the company.”

Ring has 27 years’ experience in the investment industry across a variety of distribution, product, strategy and general management positions. During his seven year career at Columbia Threadneedle he worked in various product and distribution roles before becoming global head of product in 2014.

Before Columbia Threadneedle, Ring was managing director and chief operating officer global investments international at Northern Trust.

Nick Ring said: “Jupiter has been successful in the UK fund market for many years and is increasingly making its presence felt in international markets. The Company’s strong brand and reputation for investment performance give it huge potential for future growth and I am excited by the opportunity of helping shape that.”
