Thames River Capital CEO Departs F&C

Toby Hampden-Acton has stepped down from his role as chief executive of the F&C business, Thames River Capital.

Toby Hampden-Acton has stepped down from his role as chief executive of the London-based F&C business, Thames River Capital.

Hampden-Acton served with the boutique asset manager since 2004 and was its chief compliance officer prior to becoming chief executive.

Thames River Capital was acquired by F&C Investments in 2010 and last year, F&C rebranded all the Thames River funds under the F&C name as part of the final stages in the takeover.

Following that move, the Thames River Capital chief executive job no longer had an active role within the wider F&C group, and as such Hampden-Acton has chosen to leave on his own accord.

His responsibilities will be assumed by F&C’s chief operating officer Hugh Moir, as the role as Thames River Capital’s CEO will not be replaced.

The London-listed asset management group F&C Investments had £90.1 billion ($147.08 billion) of assets as at 30 September 2013.
