He will take over as Chair with effect from 1 January 2027, following a handover period. At that point, Richard Laing will step down as Chair and as a non-executive Director of the Company.

Andrew has a wealth of investment trust, infrastructure, financial services and non-executive experience and spent 26 years of his executive career at Schroders plc.

Andrew previously served as Senior Independent Director at BBGI Global Infrastructure SA from 2022 until it de-listed in 2025 and as Chairman of Smith & Williamson from 2013 to 2020. He was also Chairman of SVG Capital plc until 2017, having served on the board since 2010 and as Chairman since 2012.

Stephanie Hazell, 3iN's Senior Independent Director, who led the search for Richard Laing's successor, said:

"After a thorough search for a suitable successor, we are very pleased to appoint Andrew Sykes as Chair Designate. Andrew is an experienced director of UK-listed companies, including investment trusts. He has a deep knowledge of the financial services and infrastructure sectors, which, together with his background as a senior executive in the asset management sector, will be hugely valuable in strengthening the Board's range of skills and expertise and leading the Board in the Company's execution of its strategic objectives. We are excited to welcome him to the Board.

On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank Richard for his outstanding leadership and service to the Company and I look forward to continuing to benefit from his leadership over the coming months."
