Dobson, who has been a member of Schroder's board since 2001, sold the shares on Friday at an average price of 3,550.0p each, for a total value of £448,152.
On Thursday, news broke that Schroders was working with a partner earlier in the year to consider a breakup of M&G by splitting its asset management operations from its pension and insurance unit.
It was understood that Schroders recently ditched the idea after deciding that M&G would be too expensive.
As of 1625 BST, Schroders shares were down 0.23% at 3,533.0p.
