Hedge fund start-ups surge

The recent revival of hedge fund start-ups has sent the clearest signals yet of a rebound in the $1,400bn global hedge fund industry. UK-based Tyrus Capital on Monday became the largest fund to launch so far this year, with an initial $800m from investors. Theleme Partners, set up by Patrick Degorce, co-founder of The Children’s Investment Fund, also launched on Monday with about $200m; and in the US, Pia Capital, set up by ex-Moore Capital trader Christopher Pia, launched in June with an estimated $300m.
