Odey Asset Management's star Japan manager has resigned, leaving the London hedge fund boutique's troubled Japan funds with an analyst as investors predict a difficult year for the asset class.
Alex Griffiths, manager of the long-only £17m (â¬22.2m) Odey Japan fund and the $115m (â¬75m) hedge fund Odey Japan & General, resigned last week for personal reasons, according to Odey chief executive David Stewart.
