The head of State Street Global Advisors’ exchange-traded fund business in Europe, the Middle East and Africa has left, shortly after the funds arm of the US banking giant made two high-profile appointments in London.

Alexis Marinof, who joined SSgA in 2003, left the $2.4 trillion asset management giant on November 14, according to regulatory filings. London-based Marinof had led SPDR, the group's ETF business, in the region since 2013.
