J O Hambro Capital Management (JOHCM) has appointed Bill Street as its new CEO, subject to regulatory approval.

Street took on the new responsibility on 8th September.

The appointment is a strategic decision by JOHCM's parent company, Perpetual Limited, aimed at reinforcing the firm's senior leadership to fuel growth.

Street has been working for more than 34 years in the investment management sector. During this time, he has held senior roles at multiple companies including State Street Global Advisors, J.P. Morgan, PwC, and Quintet Private Bank.

Previous CEO Clare Forster will assist Street during his transition into the CEO position while continuing her service on the executive committee and maintaining her existing roles on the group entity board.

Forster joined the firm in January 2023.

Headquartered in London and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, JOHCM operates internationally with offices in London, Singapore, New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Dublin, Paris and Frankfurt.

As of 30 June 2025, the firm managed assets totalling £17bn, offering a suite of global and regional equity strategies.

Last month, JOHCM bolstered its Global Emerging Markets Opportunities team, bringing on Roshni Bolton as a fund manager and Jack Gater as an analyst.

This expansion complements the existing team, which includes senior fund managers James Syme, Paul Wimborne, and Ada Chan.

"J O Hambro Capital Management hires new CEO " was originally created and published by Private Banker International, a GlobalData owned brand.
