Reuters reporter Jessica Toonkel is moving off the mutual funds beat.

For over a year, she has covered the wealth management industry, writing about mutual funds, ETFs and retirement plans. She will now cover mergers and acquisitions in the financial industry.

"This is an exciting opportunity to try something new and do one of my favorite things: break news," Toonkel told MFWire.

In an email, Toonkel said that she will still cover asset management "when deals are being done in that space."

Before working at Reuters, Toonkel covered the industry for nearly two years at InvestmentNews, a weekly newspaper for financial advisors published by Crain Communications.

She said that her coverage will be taken over by the Reuters fund team based in Boston.
