Henderson Investors has named John Nestor to take over from Roger Hunt, veteran institutional marketing director, who is set to retire next month.

Hunt is leaving the company at the end of October, but will remain as a part time consultant to the fund management house. Nestor joined AMP Asset Management in 1993 from Yamaichi Capital Management as business development director for the UK. He moved across to Henderson with Hunt following its acquisition by AMP in 1998.
