The UK’s financial regulator should reveal the extent of its probe into Odey Asset Management following a string of allegations of sexual assault by the firm’s founder, according to the head of Parliament’s Treasury Committee.
Harriett Baldwin’s call for more information from the Financial Conduct Authority comes after a week of turmoil at the asset manager. The crisis was triggered by the publication of a Financial Times investigation into Crispin Odey’s treatment of women over a 25-year period.
