CATCo Re non-exec director Barbour to step down at end of year

CATCo Reinsurance Opportunities Fund non-executive director Alastair Barbour will retire from the board towards the end of 2019.

Barbour intends to retire from his position as he is due to join UK-based Liontrust Asset Management as non-executive chairman in late September 2019.

He suggested his retirement from the board of CATCo Re is to reduce the number of directorships held by him in order to help him dedicate the appropriate amount of time to his remaining commitments.

In a filing to the Bermuda Stock Exchange, CATCo said the appointment of a successor is under consideration by the board and is expected to be announced by the date of Barbour's retirement.
