History
The company was established by John Duffield in 1985[1] and later sold to German bank Commerzbank in two tranches in 1995 and 2000. John Duffield left in 2000 after a public row with the company's new owners and set up a rival fund group, New Star Asset Management in 2001.[1] Between 2000 and June 2007 Jupiter was headed by Joint Group Chief Executives Jonathan Carey and Edward Bonham Carter. Jonathan Carey retired in 2010 after 23 years at the company.[2] Between June 2007 and March 2014, Jupiter was headed by Edward Bonham Carter (brother of British actress Helena Bonham Carter).[3]
Jupiter bought itself out from Commerzbank in a management buyout (MBO) in June 2007.[4] Around 95% of the company's staff then became shareholders. US private equity firm TA Associates supported the MBO and held a minority stake in the business.[2] On 21 June 2010, Jupiter floated on the London Stock Exchange at 165p a share. Employees retained around 41% ownership of the Company on the day it listed and TA Associates reinvested in the business, taking its shareholding to around 22% on the day of admission to the London Stock Exchange.[5] In December 2013, it was announced that Edward Bonham Carter would step down as chief executive of Jupiter in March 2014 and be replaced by Maarten Slendebroek.[6][7]
The company acquired Merian Global Investors for consideration of £370 million in July 2020.[8]
