UPDATE 1-Openwork hands $400 mln Woodford fund mandate to Jupiter
British wealth manager Openwork's Omnis Investments has picked Jupiter Asset Management to run a 317 million pound ($402.46 million) fund formerly run by Woodford Investment Management, it said on Friday. Openwork and St James's Place pulled separate mandates from Woodford totalling nearly four billion pounds shortly after the British fund manager suspended its 3.7 billion pound Equity Income fund on June 3. The Woodford suspension has provoked strong reactions from British politicians and led to a probe by regulators over the fund's exposure to unlisted and illiquid stocks.

UPDATE 2-Woodford under fresh fire as Fidelity curbs investment in second fund
British money manager Neil Woodford faced further pressure on Tuesday after retail platform Fidelity International stopped its customers from making new investments in one of his smaller funds. Woodford, one of Britain's best-known fund managers, suspended the 3.7 billion pound ($4.6 billion) LF Woodford Equity Income fund on June 3 due to a rise in redemption requests, leaving investors unsure about when they will get their money back. This has put Woodford's business under scrutiny by regulators and politicians, and led to outflows from the Income Focus fund, his other open-ended investment fund.

British investor group warns laggards over lack of boardroom mix
The Investment Association said it had written to 69 British companies which it said have no women on their boards or just one asking them for explanations following the government-backed Hampton-Alexander Review which set a target of ensuring women make up at least a third of leadership teams by 2020. "It is totally unacceptable that one in five of the UK’s biggest companies are falling so far short ... Companies must do more than take the tokenistic step of appointing just one woman to their board and consider that job done," the association's Chief Executive Chris Cummings said in a statement on Friday. The letter comes just ahead of the season for most companies' annual general meeting, where investors vote on a range of issues including board membership, and which are set to see increased push-back from investors over poor performers.
