Shares in Fidessa Group have fallen by almost a pound from 1540p at the end of May, prompting Chairman John Hamer to have a little nibble.Hamer spent £15,631 buying 1,078 shares at 1,450p each, a day after FMR LLC, a part of fund management group Fidelity Investments, said it had reduced its stake in the financial software provider to less than 11%, having reduced its holding below 12% just a few days earlier.Hamer's modest purchase topped up his holding in Fidessa to 53,495 shares, representing 0.14% of the issued share capital of the company. Fidessa's shares have been under pressure since the end of April when the company warned that it expects market conditions to remain difficult for some time.Far from drawing in its horns, however, the group plans to step up its spending on product development, as well as its investment in the infrastructure and expertise required to support new business opportunities.
