Chris Cummings, the first chief executive of financial-sector lobbying group TheCityUK, is to join the Investment Association as its next chief executive by the end of September, nearly a year after the ousting of Daniel Godfrey.

The trade body for UK fund managers, which represents investment firms managing a collective £5.5 trillion, announced Cummings' appointment in an April 5 statement.
