He was head of European equities at Jupiter Asset Management, before joining Henderson Global Investors, where he was director of European equities.[7]

In February 2016, it was reported that Pease was suing his former employer Henderson Global Investors for £2.7 million in respect of unpaid income for the 2012 to 2014 period.[4]

In his investment approach, Pease has been called the "European equivalent to Neil Woodford".[3]
