Jupiter Asset Management has announced the appointment of William Lopez and Selina Tyler as Co-Heads of its Client Group, effective January 1, 2027. According to the asset manager, Selina joined Jupiter in the spring of 2025 as Head of UK and has since restructured and revitalized the British team, while strengthening and developing key strategic client relationships. Selina will continue leading the UK market—Jupiter’s largest business—and will also assume leadership of the Client Experience and Market Intelligence teams.
Meanwhile, William joined Jupiter in 2018, initially assuming responsibility for the Latin America business and subsequently for Iberia, before also taking over oversight of broader European markets last year. Both have made a significant impact on Jupiter’s market presence and in driving the turnaround currently evident across the firm. Furthermore, William will focus on the higher-growth businesses outside the UK (Europe, Asia, and the Americas) and will also lead Jupiter’s Institutional and Client Solutions teams.
In addition to these 2 changes, Jupiter also announces that Maximilian Guenzl will transition into the newly created role of Chief Strategy Officer. Max has completed 3 successful years at the helm of the Client Group, transforming how Jupiter engages with its clients and fostering the positive momentum currently seen across the entire firm. According to the firm, in this new position, Guenzl will leverage his deep understanding of Jupiter’s clients and their evolving needs to ensure the Group is strategically positioned to deliver its active management expertise to a broader client base. Moreover, he will help define and drive the Group’s strategic agenda, identifying organic and inorganic growth opportunities in a rapidly transforming environment.
Regarding these changes, Matthew Beesley, CEO of Jupiter AM, commented: “I am delighted that Selina and William are becoming Co-Heads of Jupiter’s Client Group. Both have made a real difference to the firm since joining, and their complementary experience and expertise place them in an ideal position to continue building on our positive momentum. During his 3 years leading the Client Group, Max has been instrumental in generating this momentum. Under his leadership, a transformative shift has taken place in how we engage with our clients, deepening relationships and expanding the reach of our active investment expertise. In this new phase, his insight into the rapidly evolving needs of our clients will be decisive in ensuring we are best positioned to capture the opportunities ahead.”
Following the CCLA transaction
Furthermore, Jupiter communicates that, having led the CCLA transaction and played a pivotal role in driving its integration, Peter Hugh Smith, Chief Executive Officer of CCLA, and Elizabeth Sheldon, Chief Operating Officer of CCLA, will step down from their respective roles. Peter and Liz joined CCLA in 2019 and 2011, respectively, and have overseen a period of solid growth, reshaping the entity’s operating model during a time of profound industry change.
Consequently, Andrew Robinson MBE will be appointed Executive Chair of CCLA. Since joining in 2006, Andrew has been the driving force behind CCLA’s consolidation across the UK non-profit and local authority sectors. In his new role, he will play a key part as the public face of CCLA.
“Andrew has been the visionary and architect behind CCLA’s extraordinary growth since his arrival in 2006. Thanks to his work, CCLA is recognized today as one of the leading asset managers in the UK non-profit and local authority sectors. Both Peter and Liz have been central to CCLA’s success in recent years and have played an essential role in the acquisition and integration process. Personally, I owe them a debt of gratitude for their commitment and support over the past 18 months,” Beesley added.
