Butcher: Disappointed so few women applied to join the IGC

Hargreaves Lansdown has appointed three new members to its independent governance committee (IGC).

This follows the planned departure of three members and the appointment of PTL managing director Richard Butcher as chairman of its IGC earlier this year.

The new members are Rita Bajaj and Ian Costain – both independent members – and Mark Walter, a Hargreaves Lansdown employee member.

Helen Carey, an independent member since 2016, will continue in her role. The IGC now has four independent members and one HL employee member (previous 3:2).

The Hargreaves Lansdown IGC is responsible for overseeing the value for money received by HL Workplace Self-Invested Personal Pension (SIPP) members and drawdown pathways investors.

Commenting on the appointments, HL IGC chairman Richard Butcher said: “I’m delighted that Mark Walter, Rita Bajaj and Ian Costain have agreed to join the IGC. We conducted a very thorough process designed to ensure we had a robust set of skills, experience and knowledge and that we had the cognitive diversity needed to generate constructive debate amongst ourselves and challenge to Hargreaves Lansdown. They will really compliment the rest of the team. We’re all looking forward to getting on with the work now.

“If I am disappointed about one aspect of the process we went through, it is that, despite our best efforts, we had so few women apply to join the IGC. Fortunately, those that did were highly qualified and so Rita will join Helen Carey, who I’m delighted to say has agreed to stay on the IGC.”

The biographies of HL’s IGC members are as follows

Chairman: Richard Butcher (I) is managing director of PTL. He is also chair of the Pensions and Lifetime Savings Association and has over 30 years’ experience in pension governance. Richard is driven to help deliver value for money and great outcomes for savers.

She has held senior investment positions at global and UK asset managers, such as Royal London and Invesco Perpetual.

Ian Costain (I) has been an independent consultant for over 10 years.

Ian’s thinking begins and ends with the customer but, at the same time, he believes that efficient well-managed companies should be allowed to make a profit. Ian is an actuary by profession.

Mark Walter (HL Employee Member) joined Hargreaves Lansdown in 2010. He is responsible for managing HL’s relationships with the fund management companies available through the HL platform.
