Odey Asset Management

Odey Asset Management has confirmed the launch of a UCITS version of Crispin Odey's flagship hedge fund strategy, as first revealed by Investment Week.

Sports Direct investor Crispin Odey has labelled its founder Mike Ashley "a genius" and said he is fully behind a bonus scheme, which would see Ashley scoop a £39m payout.

Crispin Odey, the founder of Odey Asset Management, and Pierre Lagrange, the co-founder and fund manager of GLG, have both made it into a list of the country's wealthiest hedgies.

The implementation of new European Union rules on short-selling disclosures has revealed hedge funds Greenlight Capital and Odey Asset Management hold notable short positions in the UK media sector.

Crispin Odey has snapped up a 5% stake in struggling fund house Man Group, prompting speculation the hedge fund manager will launch a full scale bid for the company.
