Ex-Fidelity manager, accused of harassment in 2017, plots his comeback

Fidelity partnered with former employee in his new fund, then reversed course

One of Fidelity Investments’ star stock-pickers left the firm in 2017 following allegations of sexual harassment. Nearly two years later, he’s attempting a comeback.

Gavin Baker, who has denied the allegations, spent 18 years at Fidelity, rising to become one of the mutual-fund giant’s best-known fund managers. The 43-year-old was one of the earliest mutual-fund managers to invest in fast-growing private companies.
