The chief executive of Jupiter Fund Management, Maarten Slendebroek, has said he “dreads” the uncertainty surrounding the UK’s membership of the European Union, which will be put to a pivotal public vote in just over three months.

Slendebroek, who has headed the £35.7 billion manager since March 2014, told Financial News following the publication of his firm's annual results for 2015 on February 29 that the vote would not have a huge impact on Jupiter from an operational perspective, although he did lament the atmosphere of insecurity the upcoming referendum on June 23 has caused.
