Yale Endowment Fund To Increase Hedge Fund Allocation (http://thetrustedinsight.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=77a3cd097df7557022fbc4906&id=712607960c&e=563f3285d7)
Yale University, the second richest educational institution with a $19.3 billion endowment, managed by David Swensen, reported that it would increase its hedge fund assets. Last year, the university reduced its stakes in hedge funds by 14.5 percent and shifted into cash. Based on the report from the Yale Endowment Office, the university’s target is to increase its hedge fund holdings by 18 percent.

Ex-Brevan Howard star Rokos launches family office (http://thetrustedinsight.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=77a3cd097df7557022fbc4906&id=f6a396d83b&e=563f3285d7)
Chris Rokos, co-founder of hedge fund firm Brevan Howard, is focusing on managing his own fortune, the latest star trader to set up a so-called “family office” rather than work for others amid tighter regulations. The former Goldman Sachs trader, who left Brevan last summer after the amount of money he managed was cut, has set up the office in the heart of London’s upmarket Mayfair district, close to Berkeley Square, one of the sources said.

Among Asia’s hedge funds, smaller was better last year (http://thetrustedinsight.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=77a3cd097df7557022fbc4906&id=b556489786&e=563f3285d7)
For those investing into Asia’s hedge funds last year, smaller was better. The region’s largest hedge funds – those managing more than $500 million – delivered weaker returns on average than nimbler, small to medium-sized funds, according to fund research and people with knowledge of the individual funds.

Hedge funds are betting that a prolonged consumer squeeze and a further shift to online shopping could spell trouble for Britain’s retail chains, and are targeting some of its best-known electrical, clothes and supermarket stores. With the economic downturn and government tax hikes eating into consumer spending, many hedge funds believe that less money to go round will mean few firms emerge unscathed.

The Pacific Group Ltd., founded by a former PaineWebber Inc. trader, is converting one-third of its hedge-fund assets into physical gold, betting that prices will go up as governments print more money to pay off debt. The Hong Kong-based asset manager plans to take delivery of $35 million worth of gold bars that can be traded on the London Bullion Market Association and other international markets. It has secured vault space at Hong Kong International Airport to store the gold.
