Andy Clark, the former UK chief executive of HSBC Global Asset Management, has been recruited to lead the Church-affiliated ethical fund manager EdenTree.

Clark will join on 14 September, the firm said in a statement on 2 September, taking the reins from Sue Round, the firm’s deputy chair who has been filling in as CEO. Round is also one of the UK’s longest-serving fund managers, having helmed EdenTree’s Amity UK fund for 32 years.
