LONDON (ShareCast) - (Sharecast News) - Schroders chief financial officer Richard Keers disposed of 24,181 ordinary shares in the FTSE 100-listed global investment manager on Thursday.
Keers, who joined the group from PriceWaterhouseCoopers back in May 2013, sold the shares at an average price of 3,178.10p each, for a total transaction value of £768,496.

The CFO had been awarded the shares as part of the firm's equity compensation plan on Wednesday.

Schroders reported a drop in assets under management and full-year profits back in March after a bruising year but still managed to beat estimates on both metrics, allowing management to bump dividends.

Chief executive Peter Harrison said he was "delighted" with the firm's £85bn in net inflows and highlighted the "strong" demand from its wealth management clients.

As of 1620 BST, Schroders shares had inches ahead 0.44% to 3,198p.
