LONDON, May 7 (Reuters) - Activist investor Edward Bramson
has sold his firm's 6% stake in Barclays, disbanding a
three-year effort to overhaul the British bank and ending a
stand-off with chief executive Jes Staley.
Bramson's fund, Sherborne Investors, had pressured Staley
since 2018 to scale back investment banking and demanded his
removal over his links to U.S. financier and registered sex
offender Jeffrey Epstein, but Bramson struggled to gain much
traction.
The value of the Sherborne vehicle dedicated to the Barclays
stake has fallen by around 150 million pounds ($209 million)
compared to the 700 million pounds it raised when it was formed
