The board of Jupiter US Smaller Companies (JUS) has awarded the management contract to the US small cap growth team at Brown Advisory. JUS's portfolio will be managed by Chris Berrier, who will take over in April 2021. This follows the announcement in October of the retirement of Robert Siddles of Jupiter, who has run JUS for 20 years. Robert has had a long and distinguished career, but management is passing to a team which also has considerable experience and a solid track record. Chris and the team will be running a much more explicitly growth-focussed strategy than the manager they take over from.
