(Reuters) - Damian Clarke, a former equities trader at Schroders (LON:SDR) Investment Management, has been sentenced to two years imprisonment for insider trading, Britain's financial watchdog said.

Clarke pleaded guilty to nine counts of insider trading spanning nine years, the Financial Conduct Authority said on Monday, adding that the profits made from the deals amounted to at least 155,162 pounds ($221,400).

Clarke pleaded guilty to seven counts of insider trading on July 24 last year. In March this year, he pleaded guilty to the remaining two counts in London's Southwark Crown Court. (http://yhoo.it/1UedjZj)
