ING Groep NV, the biggest Dutch financial-services company, is ending its equity investment management business in the Middle East and North Africa after its Dubai-based team quit.

Farah Foustok, chief executive officer of the business in the region, is among those leaving, Karl Hanuska, a spokesman for ING Investment Management in The Hague, said today in a response to questions. The Dubai office will remain as a sales office, he said, declining to say where the team will now work. Foustok didn’t immediately return calls to her cell ’phone.
