Turpin has managed sales and distribution at Artemis since 2002. His financial career of over 25 years also includes stints at Merrill Lynch, Aetna and Barings.
Turpin also served as the managing director of ABN Amro Fund Managers that became a part of Artemis in 2002.
Artemis senior partner Mark Murray said: “Dick Turpin’s contributions both to Artemis and to our industry have been enormous. Dick has been integral to helping build Artemis into the firm it is today. We wish him a very long and happy retirement, after almost 30 years in fund management. We are delighted to have been able to recruit someone of Jasper’s standing and ability.”
