The duo are expected to work with Woodford at his new venture but it is yet to be confirmed.
Fraser-Jones has joined Invesco Perpetual in 2002 as a senior marketing specialist. Prior to this, he has worked at Singer & Friedlander Portfolio Management as an assistant portfolio manager.
Deer has joined Invesco Perpetual in 2006 and earlier to this he was employed with HSBC and ABN Amro as an equity analyst and as a pan-European equity salesman.
The responsibilities of the two men will be taken up by the wider UK equities team at Invesco Perpetual.
