Crispin Odey, one of Britain's best-known hedge fund managers, will be leaving the company he founded, Odey Asset Management, following allegations of sexual misconduct, the firm's executive committee said on Saturday.
The Financial Times and Tortoise, in a joint publication on Thursday, reported allegations by 13 women that Odey had sexually assaulted or harassed them over a 25-year period. He denies the allegations.
"As from today, he will no longer have any economic or personal involvement in the partnership," OAM's executive committee said in a statement. Since the publication on Thursday three Wall Street firms that are OAM's so-called prime brokers -- Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan and Morgan Stanley -- had moved to review or were cutting ties with the business. Some of its clients said they were terminating business with OAM because of the allegations.
JPMorgan and Goldman are continuing to review their prime-broking relationships with the company, sources told Reuters on Saturday. Morgan Stanley declined to comment. UBS which also acts as a prime broker to the firm, did not immediately respond.
