Schroders PLC on Wednesday said Chief Executive Peter Harrison plans to retire next year, after eight years in the role. Harrison joined the London-based investment manager in March 2013 and became CEO in April 2016. Prior to his current role, he was Global Head of Investment. Schroders said that a thorough and extensive search for his successor will now be launched. Schroders said it expects an ‘orderly transition’ during 2025, with Harrison remaining as a director throughout the period. Chair Elizabeth Corley said: ‘The board recognises that in Peter, Schroders has had an outstanding CEO over the past eight years. During his tenure, the business has undergone a remarkable transformation to become a global, diversified active investor across both public and private markets, as well as a leader in UK wealth management, more than doubling assets under management to over £750 billion.’ Shares in Schroders were up 0.2% to 374.30 pence each in London on Wednesday around midday.
