Hastings Funds Management CEO retires
Hastings Funds Management has announced the retirement of Steve Boulton as chief executive officer (CEO) and director of Hastings after just over three years in the position.
Boulton was appointed to the role of CEO of Hastings in September 2007, and prior to that held the position of CEO at Babcock & Brown Infrastructure.
Taking his place in the interim is Alan Freer, who has an intimate knowledge of the company and has previously served as a board member and as acting CEO.
Hastings is currently recruiting for a new CEO, and stated that Boulton was committed to achieving a smooth transition to Freer while the company searched for his replacement.
