The former chief investment officer at Ignis Asset Management is to leave Standard Life Investments, just over a year after the £250 billion UK manager completed its acquisition of Ignis.

Chris Fellingham has spent the past year since the acquisition was completed at the start of July last year working on the integration of Ignis' flagship macro fund, the Absolute Return Government Bond Fund (ARGBF), into Standard Life's stable, where it sits alongside SLI's popular GARS suite of multi-asset products.
