Mrs McHugh has over 25 years of international experience in investment management and banking. She has held senior positions at HSBC, Barclays Wealth and Investment Management and has led the wealth management division of Butterfield Bank Guernsey. Mrs McHugh was more recently Managing Director of 1818 Venture Capital and has current non-executive director experience of the London listed FTSE 250 Real Estate Credit Investments Ltd.

Mr Chris Russell, Ruffer Investment Company Chairman, said:

‘We welcome Colleen to the board of RICL. Apart from a keen independence and enquiring mind, Colleen brings breadth and depth of buy-side experience which complements perfectly the other skill sets on the board.

From the AGM, Nick Pink will take on the chair of RICL, Solomon Soquar will replace Nick as Senior Independent Director and Shelagh Mason and Susie Farnon will continue as chair of the Management Engagement and the Audit and Risk committees respectively.

I am supremely confident, when I step down at the AGM later this year, that I shall leave behind an exceptional and independently minded board to represent RICL shareholders.’
