Two more partners have left Cheyne Capital Management's event-driven team, shortly after news emerged that the head of the strategy at the UK hedge fund will step down at the end of the summer.

Companies House records show that Anooj Unarket and Joseph Gebran stepped down as partners at Cheyne on July 4. Both had joined Cheyne as analysts in the event-driven team in 2010 and were made partners at the firm late the following year.
