After reading economics at Trinity College Cambridge, Alistair joined Kleinwort Benson as a graduate trainee. He was ultimately appointed chief executive of Hermes Pensions Management in 1993 and saw the fund grow to almost £50 billion by the time he stood down in 2001. He wrote a monthly column in the Estates Gazette and wrote two books, the Money Moguls in 1986 and Bricks and Mortals in 1992. In 2000 Alastair was appointed CBE for services to pensions. Alistair was Chairman of Trinity College’s Investment Committee, gave the Guest of Honour speech to the Society in 2004 when the Society hosted the Vice Chancellor Alison Richard at the first ever occasion that the Society had hosted a Vice Chancellor; and he hosted and spoke at the Society’s first visit to the Kings Cross Development.
