Investment platform Hargreaves' CFO to step down for personal reasons

- British investment platform Hargreaves Lansdown said on Thursday its finance chief Philip Johnson will step down for personal reasons after spending a little over four years in the role.

The company said it will start a search process for Johnson's replacement, adding Johnson will work with Hargreaves Chief Executive Chris Hill for an orderly transition.

"While I am sad that he is going, I respect his decision and look forward to working together as the search for his successor begins," Hill said.
