Anglo-French hedge fund manager Boussard & Gavaudan has retained UBS to advise on a London listing for its Amsterdam-quoted fund, eliminating Euronext's lead over London in terms of single-manager hedge fund listings.

Emmanuel Gavaudan, chief executive of Boussard & Gavaudan, said the fund would seek shareholders' approval for the dual-listing on June 17: “These measures are aimed at achieving liquidity and transparency for the benefit of shareholders."
