7 January 2021

Newton Investment Management (Newton), part of BNY Mellon Investment Management, announced today the appointment of Euan Munro as its chief executive officer (CEO), subject to Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) approval in the UK. Euan will join Newton on June 23, 2021 and will report to Hanneke Smits, CEO of BNY Mellon Investment Management.

Euan’s accomplished investment career spans three decades. Most recently, Euan was CEO of Aviva Investors and a member of the global executive committee for seven years. Under Euan’s leadership, Aviva Investors was transformed into a leading UK asset manager with total assets under management growing significantly. Prior to this, Euan was head of global multi-asset and fixed interest investing at Standard Life Investments.

Andrew Downs will continue as Newton’s interim CEO until Euan joins the company and receives approval from the FCA. Following this, Andrew will resume his role as chief operating officer of Newton. Andrew assumed the role of interim CEO of Newton in August when Hanneke Smits began her transition to CEO of BNY Mellon Investment Management.
