There's change at the top of the asset management house, which is owned by Australia's Perpetual.

J O Hambro Capital Management, the UK-based firm overseeing £17 billion ($23 billion) – as of 30 June 2025 – has appointed Bill Street as its new CEO, with immediate effect.

The appointment, which is subject to regulatory approval, is part of a refreshed group strategy from JOHCM’s parent company Perpetual Limited, JOHCM said in a statement late last week.  

Street, who has more than 34 years of investment management experience, has worked for firms including State Street Global Advisors, PwC, Quintet Private Bank, Unicredito, and JP Morgan.

Clare Forster – the previous chief executive – is remaining on the firm’s executive committee, supporting Street in his move to the CEO slot; she will continue to serve on her group entity board roles. 

The UK-regulated firm operates from offices in London, Singapore, New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Dublin, Paris and Frankfurt. The parent firm Perpetual is listed in Australia and headquartered in Sydney.
