Veteran banker Stephen Jennings is selling out of the Russia-focused investment bank he founded to focus on running his Renaissance Group's African business and its asset management operations, the company said on Wednesday.
Under the deal, Russian billionaire-turned-politician Mikhail Prokhorov's Onexim Group will buy the half of Renaissance Capital it doesn't already own and take over consumer lender Renaissance Credit.
John Hyman, Deputy CEO of Renaissance Capital, will take over from Jennings at the helm of the investment bank.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
