Axa Framlington has handed its troubled managed growth fund to a global equity specialist, the eighth management change on the fund in the last 10 years.

The firm has handed the fund to Mark Tinker, hired last November from Execution Limited, the research firm set up by former Deutsche Bank sales and trading head Nick Finegold. Tinker became global strategist at Execution in 2002, before which he was head of debt and equity strategy at Commerzbank's investment banking division.
