Pease was born in September 1958.[5] He is the only son of Sir Richard Pease, 3rd Baronet, and his wife, Anne Heyworth, and is the 4th baronet of the baronetcy.[6] He was educated at Eton, followed by a bachelor's degree from Durham University.[7] During his time at Durham, Pease was a member of Hatfield College.[8]
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]

Pease is the daughter of an economics professor father.[9] In 2016, she published her first novel, Playing FTSE under the pen-name Penelope Jacobs.[9] They live in Kensington, London, and have two sons and a daughter, and two older sons from Pease's first marriage.[9]
