Appointment of Analyst

The Board of Artemis UK Future Leaders plc is pleased to announce that Anna Pugh has joined Artemis' UK Smaller Companies team as an Analyst. She will work alongside Fund Managers Mark Niznik and William Tamworth on Artemis UK Future Leaders plc as well as its open-ended counterpart.

Pugh has 11 years of experience and joins Artemis from   River Global Investors,   where   she   focused on UK small-cap   and micro-cap   strategies.   She   has a   first-class   degree in   economics from the University of Bath and is a CFA   Charterholder.

Fund Manager Mark Niznik commented:

"Artemis is making a strategic, long-term commitment to invest in our UK smaller companies capability. We are doing this at an important juncture for the asset class, which we believe is significantly undervalued. Takeovers and an unprecedented level of share buybacks indicate to us that trade buyers, private equity funds and companies themselves also see good value. We believe Anna's skills and experience will help us to capture the significant upside we see for our investors."
