Harris moves to Scottish Widows

Matthew Harris has left Aegon after just two months on the UK Equity Growth, UK Tactical and UK Equity Income funds, to join Scottish Widows Investment Partnership. Mark Peden, head of retail equities, has taken over temporary stewardship of the UK portfolios. Aegon is looking for a replacement. Harris, head of Aegon's Japanese desk since September 1999, moved to the UK desk in July to address underperformance.
