From Allan Gray:

Allan Gray has appointed Ian Liddle as its new Chairman following the untimely death of Simon Marais, who passed away on 26 February. With Liddle’s appointment as Chair, Andrew Lapping has been promoted to Deputy Chief Investment Officer.

“Changes triggered by a tragedy are never welcome but with Simon’s passing we have the sad but important task of filling his role on the Allan Gray board,” said Rob Dower, Chief Operating Officer of Allan Gray. “Ian is a well-prepared and worthy successor to Simon as Chair and we have high expectations of his and of Andrew’s impact in their new roles. As our investors expect, the Allan Gray group remains very focused on helping clients to make the most of their investments.”

Liddle (41) joined Allan Gray in 2001 as an equity analyst after several years as a management consultant and has held the role of chief investment officer (CIO) since early 2008. He holds a Bachelor of Business Science from the University of Cape Town (UCT) and is also a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) charter holder and director of Allan Gray. He has been managing a portion of Allan Gray clients’ equity and balanced portfolios since January 2005 when he was appointed as a portfolio manager.
