OMG! Hedge fund succumbs to ‘brave new world’

Hedge fund boutique admits it 'can’t look investors in the eye and tell them that the market conditions will be conducive to making money any time soon'

A hedge fund boutique that at its peak ran almost $1bn is shutting down because it believes its strategy cannot make money in the risk on/risk off markets.

OMG Capital, which was set up in 2004 and grew to run $930m at its peak in 2009, is closing down and returning all money to investors. Assets had fallen to $230m at the end of October.
