Fund manager AMP Henderson Global Investors (NZSE: AMP) has sold almost half its holding in fast food company Restaurant Brands (NZSE: RBD).

14 million Restaurant Brands shares changed hands before the market opened on Monday and AMP notified later in the day that it had sold down its stake from 18.78% to 10%.

The shares were traded at $2.02 per share, a discount to the stock's recent trading range between $2.10 and $2.20 a share.

Reuters reported that the shares had been sold to five unnamed institutions and that AMP Henderson was not planning a further sell down.

The fund manager bought its holding in October 2000 via a market stand at $1.25 per share.

Monday's sale price gives a profit of around 60% on the acquisition price.
