The Board of Platinum Asset Management Limited (PTM) has, through its Nomination & Remuneration Committee, reviewed the composition of the Board and is pleased to announce the appointment of a further Non-Executive Independent Director. Mr Stephen Menzies has been invited to join the Board.

As a senior lawyer, he managed legal work of significant projects in capital markets and mergers including some of the largest transactions in Australia. Previously, Stephen was National Director for Enforcement at the Australian Securities Commission and has a long history in the funds management sector.
