Meier joined Schroders in January 2006. He started his career in Fletcher Advisory in 2000. Meier subsequently had a spell at BAE Systems Pensions Funds in 2002, where he learnt his craft as a UK equity manager before joining Schroders in January 2006. He has co-managed the GBP648 million Schroder UK Equity fund alongside Francis since January 2010.
This latest development increases the pressure on Schroders to find several senior replacements, including Buxton’s.
