Schroders intends for Keers to join the board and the Group Management Committee, giving him responsibility for Finance, Risk, Human Resources, Internal Audit and Corporate Communications.
Michael Dobson, Chief Executive, said: "I would like to thank Kevin for his significant contribution to Schroders over the last ten years, as a non-executive Director and Chairman of the Audit Committee and, since 2009, as Chief Financial Officer. I very much look forward to working with Richard. His previous experience positions him well for his new role as CFO."
