Commenting on her appointment, Andrew Carter, CEO, Royal London Asset Management and chairman of the fund boards, said:
“Paramount to our search for non-executive board representation was to find individuals that have strong asset management knowledge with a thorough understanding of fund structures and their operations, coupled with a shared vision for operating in the best interest of our customers. I am assured that Nora’s experience will complement that of the current board and bring a valuable external insight to the mix.
“Non-executive’s play a pivotal role in a board’s overall structure; having recently announced John Brett as a non-executive director to our fund boards, the fund boards are now complete, subject to regulatory approval on this last appointment.”
Nora O’Mahony, added:
“Investment management is about long-term investing, active management and safeguarding the interests of investors, all factors I know Royal London Asset Management embraces. Over the years I have faced a variety of situations, worked through demanding economic cycles, ultimately gaining valuable experience that has armed me with the necessary understanding and knowledge to work efficiently and collaboratively with management teams across a spectrum of eventualities.
“I look forward to serving on the investment fund boards and working with the other executives, playing an important role in debating and driving board proposals in pursuit of the best customer outcomes.”
