Jupiter Fund Management's Chief Financial Officer, Philip Johnson, traded in 63,588 shares, making only a small dent in his holding, which was reduced to 1.32m.Johnson, who took up the role in 2009, paid 383.80p per share, giving the deal a trade value of £244,051. The purchase was made the day of the group's annual general meeting, at which one of its former managers, Philip Gibbs, according to the Financial Times, launched a verbal attack on the group's board, saying it had failed to apologise for its treatment of him. He reportedly also called on Chief Investment Officer John Chatfeild-Roberts to step down from his managerial role and instead become more focused on assets. Gibbs was a major shareholder in the company when it floated four years ago.
