Principal Search is a leading specialist in the recruitment of non-executives for
UK investment trust companies. The composition of Investment Trust boards has come under
very close scrutiny in the wake of the Higgs Report and unprecedented pressure from the
sector’s investors and regulators post the split capital debacle.
Professional search not only gives boards wider access to high quality candidates but also
ensures that the selection process has the necessary level of objectivity and transparency.
Principal Search has an established track record in this sector and works closely
with its clients to ensure that the appointment of new directors takes full account of the
recommendations of the Higgs and the Sir Robert Smith reviews,
the FSA and the AITC Code of Governance.
The investment trust team is led by Kim Yates who has considerable experience of the issues
in this sector having previously worked with one of the leading players in the industry.
