Trading in shares of a London-listed hedge fund run by Highbridge Capital Management has been suspended, a day after it emerged a currency conversion error had resulted in too many shares in the fund being issued.

The Highbridge Multi-Strategy Fund, which took on assets from BlueCrest Capital Management's $1.1 billion listed AllBlue hedge fund in February, revealed the error in a stock market announcement on March 7.
