The chairman of The Monks Investment Trust PLC, James Ferguson, announced that the success of the investment approach over the last five years has put Monks in a very strong position so the AGM is a suitable time for him to retire from the Board. Edward Harley, who has been a Director since 2003, will be retiring in 2021. After a thorough selection process the Board has asked Karl Sternberg to succeed him as Chairman. Claire Boyle joined the Board on May 1, 2020 and will be standing for election at the AGM in September.
