"[The] transition will be well supported by the strong depth of talent within our International Equity Group. There will be no change to the investment process of any strategies," the spokesperson added. 

Baker joined JP Morgan AM in 1994 as a graduate trainee. He was later promoted to analyst within the UK retail funds team, and then to portfolio manager.
