FPC appoints former IMA chief as external member

The Chancellor has appointed Robert Jenkins to the interim Financial Policy Committee as an external member to fill the vacancy left by the departure of Sir Richard Lambert.

The interim FPC has been established to prepare the ground, in advance of legislation, for the creation of the FPC as the body responsible for the stability of the financial system.

Jenkins is chief executive and managing partner of Combinatorics Capital. He is also adjunct professor of finance at the London Business School, where he teaches investment management.

He has served as chief investment officer and head of the asset management business at Credit Suisse in Japan and later as chief operating officer for Credit Suisse Asset Management’s activities in the UK, central and eastern Europe.

In late 1997, Jenkins moved to F&C Asset Management, where he served for 12 years, first as chief executive and then as chairman.

Jenkins has also chaired the Investment Management Association of the UK.
