Fidelity Investments is pulling the $500 million it has invested with Ken Fisher’s investment firm, according to people familiar with the matter.

The move by the mutual fund giant is part of a growing exodus of big clients in the wake of vulgar comments made by Fisher at an industry conference. Fidelity’s divestment brings the total yanked from Fisher Investments to more than $1.8 billion.
