Schroders Group Chief Executive Peter Harrison awarded Outstanding Contribution to the Investment Industry
Schroders Group Chief Executive Peter Harrison was last night awarded the Outstanding Contribution to the Investment Industry at influential publication Investment Week’s Fund Manager of the Year Awards.
The flagship event, which took place at the Marriot Grosvenor House Hotel, has been honouring the fund managers and groups who have demonstrated consistently strong performance for over a quarter of a century.
Earlier this year, Schroders announced that, after a decade on the Board, Peter had signalled his intention to retire as Group Chief Executive in 2025.
The judges praised Peter as a proper standard bearer for the industry. They said he is visible, accountable, approachable, credible and hard working. They applauded his forward-thinking outlook and valuable work on mental health, while highlighting his important support for London as a financial centre.
Peter joined Schroders in March 2013 and became Group Chief Executive in April 2016. During his tenure at Chief Executive, Schroders has undergone a 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 £750bn.
Prior to his current role, he was Schroders’ Global Head of Investment. Peter is a member of the UK Treasury’s Asset Management Taskforce and the Capital Markets Industry Taskforce.
He was previously Chair and is currently a Director of the Investment Association. Peter sits on the Advisory Board of venture capital firm Antler and is a Director of FCLT Global. He is the Chair of Business in the Community, the King’s responsible business charity.
Furthermore, last night, the Schroder Strategic Credit Fund won in the Strategic Bond category, while the Schroder International Selection Fund EURO Corporate Bond Fund was highly-commended in the Global Corporate Bond section.
