Amundi, Europe’s largest fund management group, has hired former L&G index specialist Michael Stewart after the UK-listed insurance and investment group merged two of its key businesses and said it would axe 70 jobs.

Stewart, who joined L&G in 2019 as a product principal, was promoted to head of index investment specialists at the £1.1tn asset manager in March.
